FLOATING HYDROELECTRIC POWER PLANT FOR AN ELECTRIC POWER CURRENT TURBINE TO ALWAYS BE CONTINUED IN ACTIVITY AT THE WATER LEVEL OF A WATERCOURSE

摘要

The power plant has a turbine (2) connected to a current producing alternator and placed between two hollow floating caissons (1). The caissons permit to immerse a lower part of the turbine, serve as a ballast (11) to refine the immersion and are connected by two longitudinal aprons (6). The turbine has blades (7) of helical shape. The plant is maintained in a waterway by two vertical beams (10) fixed to bed (4) of the waterway.
