Power generation using kinetics energy of rivers; Prototipo de um cata-agua como gerador de eletricidade

Abstract

The work talks about the possibility of make use of kinetic energy of Amazonian rivers for power generation using an equipment similar to wind conversion systems. One of this equipment was constructed and tested in Solimoes river (Amazonas State, Brazil) and utilized for supply an isolated property. Besides the problems with waste in the river and problems to fix the equipment, the result was very interesting and the cost was competitive with others options. The work presents also a scheme of equipment 3 refs., 4 figs., 1 tab.
