<p>A hydroelectric power generating method and apparatus (100) provides one or more inlet pipes (120) perpendicular to a flow of water (110) in a stream or river. The inlet pipes (120) have plural apertures along their length. A feedline (122) and a turbine generator combination (140) are interconnected with the inlet pipes (120) and one or more outlet pipes (160) so that the elevation of the outlet pipe(s) (160) is lower than the inlet pipe(s) (120). Water flows through the inlet pipes (120), the feedline (122), the turbine generator combination (140), and out the outlet pipes (160), thereby generating electrical power. The hydroelectric power generating method of the current invention also provides a pressure dissipation device that causes a reduction in the pressure of the water so that the water can be released safely back into the stream or river.</p> |
