Abstract

A water turbine unit (1) comprising a base section (2) comprising an elongated water channel, a main body section (3) comprising a helical blade turbine (19) and a cover section (4), and wherein the unit is a low profile unit allowing water to flow over the unit and create downward pressure on the unit. The turbine comprises a staged helical blade turbine,
