ABSTRACT:
An auger-type floating turbine having an elongated, buoyant rotating housing with one or more flights of blades, fins, or impellers supported on its outer surface is connected to an electrical generator to produce electrical power. The turbine may also be coupled to another machine such as a pump, compressor, etc. The turbine captures energy from a flowing stream of water. The rotor shaft is connected through a series of linkages to the electric generator that converts the mechanical energy into electric power. The force of water flowing causes the shaft to rotate, thus driving the linkages. Between the rotor shaft and the linkages to the generator are disposed drive shaft mechanisms and a shielding device. The mechanisms may include a shaft outlet connector, a shield connector, a thrust bearing and break, eyelets for hoist and pier connections, and a rear hoist eyelet.
