ABSTRACT:
A water power apparatus, composed of independent, uniquely combined, and improved design features, which provides for: (1) side pontoons, the respective bows of which angle water away from the water flowing directly into the paddle wheels; (2) the addition of wheels to the cone shaped legs so as to enable vessel positioning in shallow water areas; (3) vertically dividing each respective side paddle wheel set in half, via a solid disk division extending vertically, at a right angle to, and from, the central axle to the outside extreme end of the paddle blades, off-setting the 90 degree spaced paddle blades in each such divided set by 45 degrees, and enclosing the extreme ends of each such set of divided paddle wheels via a similar solid, vertical disk enclosure extending vertically, at a right angle to, and from, the central axle to the outside extreme end of the paddle blades; (4) a gearing system utilizing the outside edge perimeter of a side paddle wheel disk enclosure, adjacent to the center boat, via vertically extended bars and/or pegs engaging roller bearings or sprockets attached to a common axle, with a sprocket or pulley in the center, extending across the forward section of the central boat from one paddle wheel to the other; (5) an angled, retractable, solid forward water deflection screen to slow and/or stop the paddle wheels via slowing and/or stopping the water striking the paddle wheels; (6) cupped flanges around the paddle wheel axle and gearing axle to prevent water from draining into shaft roller bearings; and (7) a cover for the paddle wheels to inhibit adverse effects from wind and/or water spray.
