APPARATUS FOR GENERATING ELECTRICITY FROM A TIDAL OR OCEAN CURRENT WATER FLOW

WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/140489

A8

Apparatus (2) for generating electricity from a tidal or ocean current water flow, which apparatus (2) comprises: • a plurality of electrical generators (4) for generating electricity; and • each electrical generator (4) comprises a rotor (8), a stator (10), and a housing (12); • the housing (12) is a multi-sided housing constructed such that the electrical generators (4) are stably connected together; • the apparatus (2) includes positioning means (20) for positioning the apparatus (2) above a waterbed (22); and • the apparatus (2) includes position-adjusting means (24) for adjusting the height and/or the direction of the housing (12) such that the housing (12) is always able to be at a height and pointing in a direction for receiving maximum flow of water through the housing (12), and thereby to enable the apparatus (2) to generate a maximum amount of electricity from the water flow.
