RIVER ICE HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER PLANT Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC F03B13/00 F03B17/06 

FIELD: energy.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to design devices for electric power generation by hydraulic energy of river flow covered with ice. River ice hydroelectric plant includes impeller 1 and generator 4. Wheel 1 is immersed in water flow under ice cover of the river. Blade wheels 1 allow water flow energy conversion into mechanical energy of rotation of rims 1. Wheel 1 via shaft 10 fitted in cylindrical housing 2 on bearings and coupled with generator 4. Housing 2 is vertically fixed in ice cover so that its top part together with generator 4 is arranged above the surface of ice cover. Housing top part 2 is made with formation of mounting disc 5. To disc 5 is rigidly connected generator 4, three mounting lugs 3 located in horizontal plane and arranged relative to each other at an angle of 120 degrees. Free ends of tabs 3 protrude beyond the circle of disc 5 and are made so that holes for screws, which also includes the plant.

EFFECT: invention is aimed at creation of simple hydro-electric power plant for its use on the river, covered with ice.
