Hydroelectric power generation system

A hydroelectric power generation system comprising:

• a waterwheel having multiple curved portions formed at predetermined intervals in a rotational direction thereof, the waterwheel being rotated by falling water;
• multiple circular members each having a cover, the circular members each being loaded in a corresponding one of the multiple curved portions, elevated with the cover thereof in an open position to empty the circular member, filled with water upon reaching a top dead point thereof, and allowed to fall freely with the cover in a closed position;
• a cover opening/closing means for automatically opening/closing the cover of the circular member;
• a track extending in a downwardly inclined manner from a point at which the curved portion of the waterwheel is turned into a downwardly inclined position, the track guiding the circular member leaving the curved portion to move by gravity along the track;
• a feed track disposed in a downwardly inclined manner at an end of the track and allowing the circular members returned from the waterwheel to be sequentially supplied back to respective curved portions along the feed track during rotation of the waterwheel;
• multiple support members supporting the track and the feed track;
• and
• a generator driving means disposed on the track and generating power as the circular members filled with water sequentially fall down along the track such that a generator produces electricity,
• wherein the generator is connected to an output shaft of a gear train to be driven by the gear train amplifying torque generated by the generator driving means actuated by the circular member circulating along the track and the feed track due to rotation of the water wheel.
