ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for generating electric power in freely flowing rivers includes a housing formed of an outside housing (6) and an inside housing (7) having an outlet (10) formed as a suction pipe, with cavities (17) being provided between the outside housing (6) and the inside housing (7) in order to stabilize the apparatus close beneath the water surface, and with at least one turbine (12) arranged in the inside housing (7) which is flowed through axially and is connected with a generator (14), and with a traction means (2) for anchoring the apparatus. A robust apparatus which is especially protected against hazards caused by high water can be achieved in such a way that the traction means (2) is provided by at least one longer anchor cable (2a), with the anchor cable (2a) being anchored in the used position in an inclined manner in front of the apparatus in the ground of the river, and of at least one shorter rise-limiting cable (2b).
