摘要
A hydrokinetic water turbine system includes two turbine assemblies each having a frame structure, a horizontally-disposed shaft supported by the frame structure, and a rotor secured to the shaft. The rotor has a plurality of spaced-apart blades so that the flowing stream of water revolves the rotor. The blades are filled with a foam material to reduce weight and increase buoyancy. The frame structure is an open frame structure and includes frame members adapted to reduce a coefficient of drag of the frame structure. The frame members are filled with a foam material to reduce weight and increase buoyancy. The two turbine assemblies are secured side by side with shafts coaxial and the rotors rotating in opposite directions. The shafts can drive electric generators located out of the water or under the water. The underwater generators can be direct drive, low speed, high output generators.
