INTRODUCTION
The inventor of this equipment had the privilege, after years of work on big and
voluminous rivers in the North of Brazil, to analyze the behavior of river water, with
respect to the velocity and force of the water, in times of flood and drought. Also to
acquire sufficient knowledge of and reconcile the potential energy of the river water,
which is studied by the means of the mechanics of fluids and mechanical engineering.
This resulted in the design of a floating turbine with equipment capable of generating
electric energy on a large scale without prejudicing in any way the environment or the
region in which the invention may be installed. Innumerable possibilities were explored
by him with respect to the application of his invention as well as the benefits which
would be brought to society on the whole. With the birth of this idea he commenced
gathering resources to place his invention into practice.
In 2003 prototypes were built and installed in the course of a small river close to the city
of Belo Horizonte where he had the good fortune to prove the efficiency of his invention.
This invention will REVOLUTIONIZE ON A WORLD WIDE BASIS THE METHODS
UTILIZED IN THE GENERATION OF ELECTRIC ENERGY.
In the following pages, we will give examples of and describe in a simple manner one of
the various types of turbines, amongst others, that can be built and installed in different
types of rivers, which have different velocities in various parts of the world, and the
behavior of the water when same encounters a floating power station.

It is necessary to point out, that only in turbines with a generating capacity above
30MWH, will there be a platform as mentioned above, in stations with a lesser capacity
this component will not be necessary.
In the first stage, we will show by means of a diagram and a photograph of the prototype,
a floating turbine on the surface of the river without the blades being submersed in the
water. Immediately we have the vision of a piece of equipment very similar to a water
wheel, however with applications totally different and never before thought of.
Bed of river – Flow of River
As we have seen previously there occurs a displacement of 354m³ of river water which
corresponds to half of the number of blades which are submersed, owing to being put in
place and impeding the flow of water.
In the diagram above we show another stage in the function of the floating turbine in the
river, which occurs when we immerse the body of the rotor of the turbine which has a
diameter of 30 meters. Of these 30 meters, 6 meters are submersed, or better, below the
level of the river, bringing about a new behavior in the water. It is important to stress that
we can raise or lower the floating turbine in accordance with the need to generate
electrical energy, as within its interior there are compartments that can be filled or
emptied of water as the need arises.
In this position, once again there occurs, a displacement of river water, but now in greater
proportions, which correspond to the volume displaced and occupied by the body of the
turbine rotor and its blades. The volume displaced by the body of the turbine whose
dimensions were quoted earlier of being 3421 m³.
