CA 2744834

A paddle wheel (16) is stationarily positioned to penetrate the surface of a body of water. Preferably, a plurality of paddle wheels (16) are deployed on a single floating platform to optimize the transfer of the energy contained in the flow of water passing the floating platform. Each paddle wheel is geared in a simple method to rapidly rotate a generator axle of an electricity generator of the type conventionally deployed for wind turbines on 'wind farms'. Preferably, each paddle wheel powers a plurality of electricity generators. Means are disclosed to compensate for variations in flow rates in the body of water including means to intensify a flow of the water and means to selectively vary a depth of penetration of the paddle wheel into the water.
