The disclosure relates to a hydropower device with its operation driven by a combination of lift and drag forces. The device comprises a shaft, a lift-type runner, a first-stage drag-type runner, and a second-stage drag-type runner, wherein the lift-type runner, the first-stage drag-type runner, and the second-stage drag-type runner are coaxially installed on the shaft. The shaft is rotatably installed on a supporting frame. The first-stage drag-type runner and the second-stage drag-type runner are mounted in series on the shaft. A disc generator is installed on the shaft and meanwhile in the middle of the first- and the second-stage drag-type runners. A lift-type runner is connected to the shaft through struts, and the blades of the lift-type runner are oriented in the periphery of the first-type and the second-type runners.
A hydropower device combining lift and drag effects, characterized in that:
