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
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.

BEHAVIOUR OF THE RIVER WATER WHEN EXERCISING
PRESSURE ON A FLOATING STATION FOR GENERATING
ELECTRICITY.
In order for us to describe the behavior of the water on the floating power station, let us
illustrate the proposed equipment in perspective, for better understanding.
View of Floating Turbine in perspective.
The structure of this invention boils down to being a floating platform and a rotor with
blades placed around the diameter. These blades are staggered in alternate rows and
placed in a transverse section of the river.

The floating platform, which we also call a float, has various functions:
1) It is equipped with submerged lateral guides to direct the river water, forming a
channel, and forcing the river water against the rotor and the blades of the turbine,
exerting on it a constant pressure, causing the turbine to rotate because of the
volume of water.
2) It permits the adjustment of the height of the equipment above the surface of the
river.
3) It has in its construction slip bearings that permit the adjustment of the depth of
immersion of the turbine in the river.
4) It permits the movement of all of the equipment on the surface of the river.
5) It is fitted with equipment that permits it to be anchored in its operating position.
6) Owing to its great size it works as a counter weight, stabilizing the unit.
7) It prevents undesirable materials from entering the rotor of the turbine.
8) It permits the landing of helicopters because of its large platform.
9) It has automatic adjustments in case there are variations in the water level.

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.
