Electrical power generating system using a water wheel

摘要

There is provided a power generating system to recharge the batteries of a boat as the boat moves under power through a body of water. The electrical generating system has a relatively large water wheel connected to a boat. As the boat moves through the water, the water wheel turns producing energy and, through a series of pulleys and wheel gears and then to a generator or alternator and then the electrical energy is passed to a battery. The water wheel may be mounted on the stern of the boat, or to the side of the boat, or in a cut out portion in the bottom of the boat.

主权项

1. A system for generating electrical power from water as a boat moves through the water comprising:
(a) a boat having an electrical generating assembly attached thereto, (b) said assembly comprising:
(1) a water wheel mounted on a journal, said water wheel being capable of transferring energy to a pulley when said boat is in motion(2) said pulley having an outer rim and a first wheel gear that is smaller in diameter than said outer rim whereby energy from said water wheel is transferred to said outer rim;(2) a second pulley having an outer rim capable of receiving energy from said first wheel gear and a second wheel gear that is smaller in diameter than said outer rim of said second pulley;(3) a generator capable of receiving energy from said second pulley and transferring said energy to charge a battery.
