ABSTRACT:
A boat for retrieving energy from a flowing stream of water, such as a river or tidal flow, which can be easily moved to a convenient location and which is capable of capturing a significant portion of the energy of the flowing stream. The boat has a bottom and two sides, forming an elongate hull with a bow and a stern at opposite ends, and means for anchoring the boat to hold it stationary in a stream of water. The boat has openable hinged members at the bow and stern to allow water to enter the interior of, and to flow through, the hull from one end to the other. Devices such as paddles are arranged inside the hull for converting energy of the water flowing through the hull into mechanical energy of a rotating shaft.
