Patent ID: 8593005

Claim:
Water wheel for generating power by allocated generators with ring-shaped arranged and transversely extending water blades, which are impingable upon by streaming or free-falling supplied water, and the water blades are arranged between formed wheel rims as outer boundaries, as well as respectively connected via spokes with an axle stub for the bearing support, whereby the individual water blades are formed of structurally identical elements that are embodied to be stiff against bending and are allocated at their outer sides to the lateral wheel rims of the water wheel, characterized in that the water blades ( 5 ) are arranged over a truss framework ( 6 ) and the truss framework ( 6 ) is formed as a transversely extending prism-like arrangement of plural connected struts ( 7 ) as transverse supports ( 8 ), which are connected at node points ( 9 ) by longitudinal rods ( 10 ) and at least one strut ( 7 ) of the transverse supports ( 8 ) is connected with the wheel rim ( 2 ), whereby a longitudinal rod ( 10 ) arranged over the transverse supports ( 8 ) is embodied for the rotational support of a pivotably received water blade ( 5 ) via mounting receivers, and a longitudinal rod ( 10 ) is allocated as a counter support for the water blade ( 2 ) in a working position as well as on the other hand for limiting a pivoting motion of the neighboring water blade ( 2 ) in the position in the turbulent region ( 18 ).
