The method involves guiding a circulating unit (1) in a closed cycle. A traction rope (7) that is fixed to a section (2) of the circulating unit faces a direction of a horizontal current. A traction chain is adjusted to be longer than the rope and/or a traction chain that is fixed to another section (3) of the circulating unit faces away from the current direction. The lengths of the rope in a region of the points of return (4, 5) of the circulating unit are adjusted in such a manner that the rope faces the current direction and the chain faces away from the current direction. An independent claim is also included for a system for executing a method for converting a kinetic energy contained in horizontal currents of naturally occurring fluids into useful mechanical energy. |
