A floating power station is proposed, utilising horizontally moving water streams, unidirectionally or bidirectionally, with the following characteristics: An airtight cylindrical center part of the paddlewheel from which the blades project radially, bars any water turbulence inside the rotor by employing a hollow and closed cylindrical drum around the virtual or existing axis of the rotor, A semi open tunnel provides a half closed duct around the blades, which encapsulates water flow at the bottom part of the wheel, barring counter flow, leaving the top part of the circular arrangement of blades around the wheel open to accommodate the accelerated flow of water. One or two floating and vertically free moving cylindrical drums provided with rims or small blades to adopt a circular motion by the streaming flow of water (and thereby reducing drag) can be added to the floating platform parallel to the main rotor in order to suppress the turbulences and counter currents (e.g. the effect of strong winds) at the top part of the horizontal water stream, adding an accelerating effect to the water by means of a narrowing duct.
