A system for producing hydrogen from water, making use of a stream of water such as a gulf stream or tidal stream, comprises a num-ber of submerged modules (1), each having a tur-bine (17) that can be driven by the stream of water. The turbine is coupled to a generator (22) for gen-erating electrical energy. Each module may have submerged decomposition means (23) for decom-posing water into hydrogen and oxygen using the electrical energy generated. The modules (1) are provided with means to control the depth of the modules below water level, and furthermore with means for automatically orienting the front of the modules - viewed in the longitudinal direction of the turbines - to the direction of flow of the water or an angular position deviating therefrom.

La présente invention concerne un système de production d'hydrogène à partir d'eau, utilisant un courant d'eau, notamment un courant de golf ou un courant de marée, comportant un certain nombre de modules (1) submergés, chacun de ces modules présentant une turbine (17) pouvant être commandée par le courant d'eau. La turbine est couplée à un générateur (22) pour générer de l'énergie électrique. Chaque module (1) peut comprendre un dispositif (23) de décomposition submergé pour décomposer l'eau en hydrogène et oxygène en utilisant l'énergie électrique produite. Ces modules (1) sont équipés de dispositifs pour commander leur profondeur en-dessous du niveau d'eau, ainsi que de dispositifs pour orienter leur partie avant -vue dans le sens longitudinal des turbines- dans le sens d'écoulement de l'eau ou d'une positon angulaire déviée.
