A power transmission assembly is arranged inside the exhaust pipe 1. At the output end of the power transmission assembly, two meshing bevel gears 3 are provided. The bevel gear 3 far from the power transmission assembly is connected to the input end of a speed change device 4 through a transmission shaft 13. The output end of the speed change device 4 is connected to the input end of a generator 5. A voltage stabilizing transformer 6 is arranged at the output end of the generator 5.

Both ends of the impeller shaft 10 are arranged in the exhaust pipe 1 through the impeller shaft fixing bracket 8. A plurality of impeller fixing seats 9 are evenly arranged on the outer wall of the impeller shaft 10, and a plurality of impellers 2 are evenly arranged on the impeller fixing seats 9.

[0024] Four impeller fixing seats 9 are provided, and three impellers 2 are respectively arranged on each impeller fixing seat 9. The impellers 2 on different impeller fixing seats 9 are staggered.

[0025] Limit clips 7 for clamping on the impeller shaft fixing bracket 8 are arranged at both ends of the impeller shaft 10.

[0026] The impeller shaft fixing bracket 8 is in a circular ring shape. The outer diameter of the impeller shaft fixing bracket 8 is adapted to the inner diameter of the exhaust pipe 1, and a card slot 14 for inserting the impeller shaft 10 is arranged at the center of the impeller shaft fixing bracket 8.
