Floating waterwheel to produce electricity has waterwheel mounted on multi-hull craft so that it can rotate freely between hulls

摘要

The floating waterwheel (6) is mounted in a craft with multiple hulls (1) between the hulls so that it can rotate freely. The craft is anchored in a river, the flow of which rotates the waterwheel. Transmissions (8) and generators (9) may be mounted on the waterwheel axle (7) so that they are rotated by the flow, producing electricity.
