An apparatus for generating electric power in freely flowing rivers includes a housing formed of an outside housing ( 6 ) and an inside housing ( 7 ) having an outlet ( 10 ) formed as a suction pipe, with cavities ( 17 ) being provided between the outside housing ( 6 ) and the inside housing ( 7 ) in order to stabilize the apparatus close beneath the water surface, and with at least one turbine ( 12 ) arranged in the inside housing ( 7 ) which is flowed through axially and is connected with a generator ( 14 ), and with a traction means ( 2 ) for anchoring the apparatus. A robust apparatus which is especially protected against hazards caused by high water can be achieved in such a way that the traction means ( 2 ) is provided by at least one longer anchor cable ( 2 a), with the anchor cable ( 2 a) being anchored in the used position in an inclined manner in front of the apparatus in the ground of the river, and of at least one shorter rise-limiting cable ( 2 b). |
