Device for utilizing the kinetic energy of flowing water

A device, comprising

• a rotor axle;
• and
• at least one support disk having a pressure surface, the at least one support disk attached to the rotor axle which rotates thereabout,
• wherein:
• the at least one support disk is embodied in a double-walled manner;
• the pressure surface is embodied in a double walled-manner forming a hollow interior;
• and
• additional surfaces distributed asymmetrically over a rotational circle and positioned crosswise to a direction of flow on the at least one support disk and further comprising additional pressure surfaces arranged in planes of the pressure surfaces on sides facing away from the pressure surfaces with respect to pivot axles, wherein:
• the additional pressure surfaces enlarges a leading surface area comprising the pressure surface and the additional pressure surfaces such that resistance of the pressure surfaces is increased with respect to the flowing water;
• the at least one support disk is structured to have an electric current applied thereto to provide an electrolysis process through which oxygen is generated in the support disks to increase the lightness of the at least one support disk;
• and
• the pressure surface and the additional pressure surfaces are rotatable about a pivot axle into:
• (i) a first position such that an apex is facing the rotor axle of the at least one support disk and the additional pressure surfaces extend away from the rotor axle, on an opposing side of the pivot axle;
• (ii) a second position such that the apex is facing away from the rotor axle of the at least one support disk and the additional pressure surfaces extend toward the rotor axle, on an opposing side of the pivot axle;
• and
• (iii) a third position, between the first position and the second position, such that the pressure surface and one surface of the additional pressure surfaces both face the rotor axle of the at least one support disk.
