ABSTRACT:
A water power apparatus, composed of independent design features, which provides for: (1) utilization of a central boat with two paddle wheels and respective side stabilizers, with one wheel being located on each respective side of the boat, connected by a central axle or a flexible coupling; (2) two respective and connected sets of paddle wheels, with the blades on each of the two respective wheels placed 90.degree. apart, with each set of wheels being situated a lateral distance, apart from the other, of at least one-half the width of a respective paddle wheel blade, and with the blades on one wheel set being staggered 45.degree. from the other; (3) an "angled" front deflection screen with cord or rods running parallel to the water surface; (4) a paddle wheel blade surface area extended above the water surface, with fully enclosed sides, so as to totally capture all water "head" created against the blade by the current flow; and (5) "legs", with cone-shaped bottoms, for the generating vessel to rest on, preventing bottom jamming of the paddle wheels during periods of low water levels.
