US Patent 7919877 Faucet generator

A faucet generator includes: a cylindrical body which has a water inflow port and a water outflow port, and in which a water supply channel is formed; a rotor vane which has rotor vane blades, and which is disposed in the water supply channel; a magnet which is rotatable integrally with the rotor vane; a coil in which an electromotive force is produced by rotation of the magnet; and a plurality of nozzles which eject water toward the rotor vane blades. The axial direction of the rotor vane is substantially parallel to the water supply channel. The nozzles change a direction of a water flow which is substantially parallel to the axial direction of the rotor vane, to eject water from a radially outward direction of the rotor vane blades to the rotor vane blades.
