The paper main objective is to extend the library of planetary multipliers that can be used in wind turbines’ and hydro units’ applications, by taking into account the conditions of obtaining higher efficiencies and higher multipication ratios for a reduced overall dimension. The presented solutions are derived from some representative speed reducer by the flow power inversion. By means of these solutions, a comparative analysis of the structural, kinematical and dynamic specific features of different types of planetary speed multipliers is presented in the paper
