<p>A system intended to generate power from water comprises a funnel 10 supported at a pre-determined distance below the water level 11, with a telescopic pipe arrangement 14, 24 to allow the height to be varied according to changes in the water level 11. Water flows through a number of turbines 40 to generate power, and is pumped through the exit pipe 42, 44 by pumps 46. The inlet funnel has guards 16, and the height is controlled by hydraulic rams 28 attached to a base 32.</p> |
