Abstract
The invention is a transportable hydroelectric power generating system which is capable of being fully or partially assembled in a factory setting and then transported to a water stream. The system includes either a wind-driven or solar-powered pump or both features which serve to further supply pressurized water to the impellers on the water wheels. Thus marginal streams may become power generating sites.
Claims20
A hydroelectric power generating system comprising:
- a. a housing, said housing comprised of a body portion and two flange portions attached to the proximal and distal ends of the body portion;
- b. a first water wheel mounted within the housing body portion, said water wheel having a plurality of impellers for contact with a flowing water stream;
- c. a second water wheel having a plurality of impellers for contact with the flowing water stream driven by a pump mechanism which concentrates the water from the flowing water stream onto the impellers on the first water wheel;
- d. a secondary energy source in electrical communication with the pump mechanism, said energy source connected to a system outside the housing for deriving energy from naturally occurring forces;
- and
- e. an electrical generating system in communication with the water wheel mounted in the body of the housing for generation of electrical current.
