Zusammenfassung:The modular hydrokinetic motor device is a power generation apparatus for generating power from water flows. The power generation apparatus has a transducer from hydraulic to mechanical energy with a hydraulic side and a mechanical side. A generator is coupled to the mechanical side of the transducer. The hydraulic side of the transducer has a guiding mechanism and a series of paddles adapted to move along the guiding mechanism. The guiding mechanism has a driving path that defines a linear movement along the guiding mechanism in a downstream direction and a driven path that defines a linear movement along the guiding mechanism in an upstream direction. The driving path and the driven path are parallel paths. The apparatus is configured so that the driving path have a higher dragging coefficient than the driven path.
