FIELD: engines and pumps.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to units designed to convert water flow energy into electric power. Proposed power source comprises generator 1 and hydrodynamic drive 2. Aforesaid birotary generator 1 includes housing 11 and two rotors 12 and 13. Aforesaid hydrodynamic drive 2 represents two coaxial screws 3 and 4 fitted on shafts 7 and 8 on both faces of generator 1. Power source incorporates rotation converter and two auger-type turbines 5 and 6 arranged concentric with housing 11. Screws 3 and 4 and auger-type turbines 5 and 6 are linked with inner and outer shafts 7 and 9, respectively, and, via rotation converter, with rotors 12 and 13 of generator 1.

EFFECT: higher efficiency, reduced sizes at increased power.
