Zusammenfassung:	A power generation apparatus for generating power from water flows is provided. The apparatus has an elongated module having a mechanical side and a hydraulic side, a generator coupled to the mechanical side. The hydraulic side having a set of paddles partially submerged in a water flow. The elongated module has a pivoting point on its mechanical side so that the hydraulic side follows an arc trajectory. The paddles are configured to change positions based on the angular location of the arc trajectory.
