A generator for electricity, utilizing one or two groups (29A and 29B) of separately placed water-driven paddlewheels (31) placed side by side in man-made canal. Each group is coupled together by a belt (41A and 41B) embracing a plurality of drive pulleys (43) which deliver power to central assembly pulleys (70A and 70B) on a single shaft (67). The central assembly pulleys each incorporate a centrifugal clutch (75 and 75') which transmits power to flywheel device (71A) which monitors rotational speed, thereby building up angular momemtum. A pulley (72) delivers the power via a belt (90) to a power-take-off pulley (104), then through a centrifugal clutch (92) to a shaft (91) and then to a generator (82).
