Dual Rotor Electric Power Generator

The question of energy efficiency is perhaps one of the most important issues facing the human race as a whole. The reasons for this are numerous. Not only is energy efficiency a sound economic platform, it is also a vital part of an overall approach to the way in which mankind relates to the environment around them. In short, energy efficiency can be seen as a necessary universal philosophy that must be adopted in order to ensure the future of the planet.
This project is made to improve the electrical efficiency of the generator by rotating both the stator and rotor of the generator. We know the relative speed of two rotating members in opposite direction is sum of their speeds, applying this concept in power generation, we designed the generator with the rotating stator and rotor which forms the dual rotor.
.         Present generators will have stator has stationary one and rotor has a rotating member. Why do we need to fix the stator, if we can rotate the stator and gain high relative speed? Speed is the main parameter for the power generation process. So this generation process can be applied in any power generation method. We applied this process in hydraulic power generation method. By using two pelton wheels one is connected with stator and other is connected with rotor and made them to rotate in opposite direction with each other. Thus relative speed is doubled, which doubles the output power generated.
