Title:
FLOATING TURBINE APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/098668
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a floating turbine apparatus wherein: a turbine is formed to have a hollow body which is light enough to float on the water, so that a loss of torque due to the weight of the turbine can be minimized; the frictional resistance between turbine blades and water and the frictional resistance between the body of the turbine and water are minimized, so that the turbine efficiency can be increased; when the turbine blades come out of the water, water is prevented from being scooped up by the turbine blades, so that the turbine efficiency can be increased; the turbine efficiency can be maintained even when the level of water is changed due to an increase or decrease in the flow rate of water flowing through a waterway; and the number of components disposed within the waterway is minimized and most components are installed on the ground outside the waterway, so that underwater operations can be excluded or minimized during maintenance work, and thus the maintenance work can be performed safely and quickly.
