Abstract

177,637. Farrell, L. Jan. 19, 1921. Drawings to Specification. Current motors; driving and transmission mechanism.-A series of water-wheels carried by two pontoons have radial paddles projecting below the pontoons sufficiently to use the young flood tide. Teeth on the discs of the wheels engage pinions driving dynamos. Hinged sluices and booms are arranged at the ends of the pontoons.
