ABSTRACT:
A hydropowered bulkhead assembly is provided for association with damming or analogous structure defining a water passageway through either non-navigable dams, movable-type dams, chambers at locks defined for navigation procedures, canal drops or auxiliary locks and includes a selectively displaceable body to achieve asynchronous electric generation when disposed in an operative position relative the damming structure. Flow controlling means, such as tainter gates, chanoine wicket gates, miter gates, and the like are included and operable to permit overhauling of the assembly or when in an idle status. Alternatively, a plurality of asynchronous generators may be spliced together in any one bulkhead assembly to enhance the generation quality, dependent upon the requirements imposed by extreme, highly variable hydraulic heads.
