Patent attributes
A water current catcher system for hydroelectricity generation includes a first L-shaped weir, a second L-shaped weir, a channel opening, an underwater gate assembly, and at least one elevation adjustable hydroelectric generator unit. The first and second L-shaped weir are connected to a subsurface environment and linearly positioned to each other. The channel opening is delineated between the first L-shaped weir and the second L-shaped weir. The underwater gate assembly is integrated into the first L-shaped weir, the second L-shaped weir, and the subsurface environment thus positioning about the channel opening. The elevation adjustable hydroelectric generator unit that includes a first jack-up barge, a second jack-up barge, a waterwheel, and a generator is connected to the subsurface environment and adjacently positioned about the channel opening. The elevation adjustable hydroelectric generator unit is operatively coupled with the underwater gate assembly to convert the kinetic energy of flowing water into hydroelectricity.
