A water current generating device consisting of a main body (3) and a horizontal axis rotor (5) is attached by a mechanical connection (2) to a fixed support structure (1). Under the action of one or more hydrodynamic thrusters (4) the main body of the turbine is rotated about a desired axis of rotation to face the oncoming current flow, especially when the direction of the tide is changing. The mechanical connection incorporates an appropriate degree of freedom to allow this reorientation to take place and clamping means to lock the body after re-orientation. |
