Abstract
A hydrodynamic electrification system that generates electricity from water moving from a high side to a low side and around a structure that divides the low side from the high side generally includes a water transport system that directs the water from the high side presenting a hydraulic head, over the structure, and to the low side. The system includes a power extraction system having a wheel that receives the water from said water transport system and a mounting system having a high side anchor that connects near an intake to the water transport system at the high side and having a low side anchor that connects to the power extraction system at the low side.

A hydrodynamic electrification system that generates electricity from water moving from a high side to a low side and around a structure that divides the low side from the high side, the system comprising:
- a water transport system that directs the water from a high side presenting a hydraulic head, over the structure, and to a low side, the water transport system including a flexible siphon;
- a power extraction system having a wheel that receives the water from said water transport system;
- and
- a mounting system having a high side anchor that connects near an intake to the water transport system at the high side and having a low side anchor that connects to the power extraction system at the low side, wherein said high side anchor of said mounting system is configured to flexibly connect said intake.
