Abstract
A power turbine installation is intended for use in a current of water such as a river. A floating support (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18) is held in position against movement by mooring cables (19, 20, 21). A turbine rotor (32) on the support is moveable between a fully immersed state and a position partly above the water in response to current flow rate such that the rotor lifts as the current increases. <IMAGE>
