The subject of this invention are two methods for converting the kinetic energy of fluids into electric energy, and machines for their embodiment, whereby the energy of the turbine rotor is not transferred to the generator's rotor via the shaft, directly or by a gearbox, but is transferred via: i) motor-generator (dynamotor) or ii) direct interaction between two systems of coils/windings: a) the first one being fed by electrical source for creation of a rotating magnetic field, the torque of which is added to the torque of the hub with blades because the windings are fixed to it or to its shaft; b) the second windings, designed for induction of electric energy in them, which are motionless or fixed to another hub with counter torque.
