Generator powered by water stream - uses paddle blade wheel(s) impeller(s) to drive generator(s) arranged on large float anchored locally in flowing water

摘要

The float (1,2,3), anchored locally in the flowing water, is provided by a ship, a raft or a pontoon . The latter (1,2,3) consists of at least two hulls, arranged rough in parallel to each other. The axis of rotation (10,11) of the paddle wheels (8,9) extends roughly at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the float. At least one transformer station (16), also arranged on the float, is provided as a transformer unit for the current given by the generator (14). The blades (22,23,24,28,29) of the paddle wheel (8,9) related to the main plane of the paddle wheel are displaced laterally to each other and/or are curved. The blades are provided with recesses (25-27), pref. perforated and/or finely slotted. ADVANTAGE - Installation costs reduced to min. Enviromentally friendly and cost effective prodn. of electrical current facilitated.
