HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FOR CONVERTING THE KINETIC ENERGY OF RIVERS INTO ELECTRIC ENERGY AND MECHANICAL WORK: GEROP = ELECTRICAL GENERATOR +HYDRAULIC WHEEL +BRIDGE-FLOAT

摘要

The invention relates to a hydraulic system for converting the kinetic energy of rivers into electric energy and mechanical work. According to the invention, the hydraulic system comprises an assembly consisting of some floats (1), some hydraulic wheels (2), some horizontal axles (3) supported on two side yokes (4) embedded in the bridge-float (1), on the above mentioned axle (3) there being mounted two gear wheels (5) each driving a gear wheel (6) mounted on the shaft of an electric generator (7).
