A FLOATING POWER PLANT OF FLOWING WATER WITH PADDLE WHEELS

摘要

The floating power plant of flowing water with paddle wheels refers to the production of electric power from free-flowing water without changing the watercourse. Current practice for the extraction of electricity from rivers is through the construction of dams or canals, with a view to obtaining high water to drive the turbines. This is associated with higher costs for construction and flooding of large areas of land, especially of the middle and lower courses of the larger rivers. The proposed invention solves a problem like described allows the use of low speed over without modification or construction of other facilities for the production of electricity. Used floating pontoon not self-propelled anchor near the shore and with two or more rowing bicycle with shovels for the conversion of the kinetic energy of the flow in the torque. They work in a specially shaped grooves, which accelerate the flow and preserve his laminar character.
