Method for converting hydroelectric energy

Claims

A method for converting the energy of a hydraulic flow into mechanical energy, which consists in placing floating bodies in the hydraulic flow, secured to an endless (closed) working element, stretched on pulleys upstream and downstream, and moving the floating bodies along the flow, characterized in that instead of floating bodies, a group of hydrodynamic wings immersed in the hydraulic flow at an angle α to the direction of movement of the hydraulic flow is uniformly distributed and secured on a pair of endless (closed) working elements - chain-type energy transmissions stretched on sprocket pulleys, secured in pairs on a single shaft, wherein the energy of the hydraulic flow is converted during parallel movement of this pair of energy transmissions with hydrodynamic wings due to the lifting force arising on them, but perpendicular to the direction of the hydraulic flow,Moreover, depending on the depth of the main hydraulic flow, when the power transmissions move, the hydrodynamic wings should not touch the bottom of the hydraulic flow and should not reach its surface, and the shafts of the power transmissions, through auxiliary sprockets and closed circuits of the power units, transmit the energy of the hydraulic flow to the power units and further to consumers.
