The hydropower engine (hereinafter referred to as HEM) is an energy converter designed to convert hydrophotential energy into mechanical work in the form of a torque in such a way that the force of the pressure of the tower of the liquid acting on the sphere (Kr) in the nozzle (Š) creates the movement of the first chain with spheres ) which is then transferred to the wheel (K) of the device. Due to the fact that the wheel (K) is not in direct contact with the liquid, HEM can be used where the use of already known, conventional hydroelectric transducers would not be appropriate due to the specific properties of the working fluid such as, for example, waste sewage liquid. By installing HEM into the sewage system, the hydro-potential energy of the waste liquid of a multi-storey building can be exploited in such a way that an electric generator is used to generate electricity on the wheel (K). During operation, HEM does not transmit any by-products to the environment so that HEM is actually a renewable energy source.
