Abstract:
An energy generating device having a drum and at least one vane that is movable between a deployed state and a stowed state as the drum rotates to capture energy potential from flowing water and converting it to usable electrical and/or mechanical energy. The movable vanes can automatically retract when not in the flow of water and re-deploy when entering the flow of water over the drum. The present system can generate usable electricity or mechanical energy from slow but steadily flowing bodies of water without the need to dam, restrict, or alter the path of the water flow.

Claim (Index 19):
A method of generating energy comprising the steps of:\n installing a portable energy generating device within a flowing body of water; directing a stream of flowing water over a rotatable drum within the energy generating device; deploying at least one movable vane into the flow of water over the drum; capturing the potential energy from the flowing water with the at least one movable vane; converting potential energy from the water flowing over the drum into rotational energy to rotate the drum; capturing the rotational energy of the drum with a generator; and directing the flow of energy from the generator to an end location remote from the energy generating device.
