Abstract

A hydroelectric power generating system includes a barge having a hull, a hollow body extending from the hull, a counter-rotating dual propeller rotor assembly, and an electric generator. The counter-rotating dual propeller rotor assembly is caused to be rotated by current flow of a moving water body thereby powering the electric generator for generating electricity. The counter-rotating dual propeller rotor assembly has oppositely facing first and second propellers for engaging the flow of moving water for driving at least one of the propellers irrespective of a direction of current flow of the moving water body.
