A floating bridge for connecting two bodies of land separated from each other by a waterway, the bridge comprising - a system for generating electrical energy from water currents, such as in particular tidal currents, comprising a number of successive interconnected elongate units which are arranged in line with each other such that a total length of the multitude of units substantially spans the waterway and adjacent units being connected, preferably at one position, for pivoting, viz. omnidirectional movement relative to each other, for example by means of a ball joint, the elongate units having at least three floating bodies (12, 13a, 13b) provided beside each other and parallel to each other in a row so as to enable the system to float on a water surface of a water reservoir such as a sea, an ocean, a river or the like, a frame extending along the length of the elongate unit, of which the at least three floating bodies form part or to which they are at least connected, at least two turbine units to be driven by water currents, each comprising at least one rotor body, connecting means (34; 134) for mechanically connecting each one of the at least two turbine units to at least one of the at least three floating bodies and/or to the frame, such that the rotor bodies are positioned completely under the water surface and, viewed from above, between two adjacent floating bodies, further connecting means (38; 44) for connecting the system to at least one anchoring means that is connected to the bottom of the water reservoir, the connection being such that the at least one unit can move along with movements of the water surface such as for example caused by wave motion and tidal movement, - a first land connecting element which connects a first end of the system to a first body of land, - a second land connecting element which connects a second end of the system located opposite said first end to a second body of land, and - a driving deck which extends over the multitude of units and the first and the second land connecting element, the driving deck being supported by the frames of the elongate units. - a system for generating electrical energy from water currents, such as in particular tidal currents, comprising a number of successive interconnected elongate units which are arranged in line with each other such that a total length of the multitude of units substantially spans the waterway and adjacent units being connected, preferably at one position, for pivoting, viz. omnidirectional movement relative to each other, for example by means of a ball joint, the elongate units having at least three floating bodies (12, 13a, 13b) provided beside each other and parallel to each other in a row so as to enable the system to float on a water surface of a water reservoir such as a sea, an ocean, a river or the like, a frame extending along the length of the elongate unit, of which the at least three floating bodies form part or to which they are at least connected, at least two turbine units to be driven by water currents, each comprising at least one rotor body, connecting means (34; 134) for mechanically connecting each one of the at least two turbine units to at least one of the at least three floating bodies and/or to the frame, such that the rotor bodies are positioned completely under the water surface and, viewed from above, between two adjacent floating bodies, further connecting means (38; 44) for connecting the system to at least one anchoring means that is connected to the bottom of the water reservoir, the connection being such that the at least one unit can move along with movements of the water surface such as for example caused by wave motion and tidal movement, - a first land connecting element which connects a first end of the system to a first body of land, - a second land connecting element which connects a second end of the system located opposite said first end to a second body of land, and - a driving deck which extends over the multitude of units and the first and the second land connecting element, the driving deck being supported by the frames of the elongate units.
