NOVELTY - The system (10) has a paddlewheel (12) provided with a set of radially configured blades (14) and located within an artificial channel e.g. venturi (26), that is made of solid material. The paddlewheel is positioned at a location above the artificial channel. A portion of the paddlewheel is extended into the artificial channel, and another portion of the paddlewheel is provided external to the artificial channel. The paddlewheel is located properly within the artificial channel to permit rotation of the paddlewheel in same direction as fluid passing through the artificial channel.    USE - Fixed or floating paddlewheel power generation system for a floating power generating vessel (claimed) to generate electrical power for residents.    ADVANTAGE - The paddlewheel is located properly within the artificial channel to increase velocity of flowing liquid, for generating paddlewheel rotation at speed greater than that relative to a main body of the fluid, thus permitting efficient power generation through the capture of kinetic energy derived from paddlewheel rotation at a level that is acceptable in relation to available hydrokinetic energy of the fluid source, and hence allowing effective conversion of hydrokinetic power into mechanical energy in order to couple to a device to produce electricity from the captured power. The system supplies the resultant electrical energy to a user's individual location or into an electrical grid in order to supply a clean, efficient, power source at a level that exceeds 15 megawatt hours per day, per device, depending on minimum flow velocity. The system generates the power from a water source that is flowing at any velocity, and assures ability to maneuver the power generating vessel to any location on/or within a flowing water source as necessary to determine the maximum water flow and/or to avoid watercraft or environmental or ecological concerns so as to generate significant levels of electricity. The configuration of the system avoids the fossil fuels or other pollutants to accord proper function of the vessel and allows the vessel to be properly housed. The system manufactures hydrogen, oxygen, potable water, and hydrogen peroxide, from the proximity to the target water source. The system allows the vessel to be relocated to a region that has suffered from a natural or man-made calamity and accord a reliable level of electricity in order to aid in rebuild and restoration.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for the following:    (1) a method for utilizing a paddlewheel system to generate electrical power    (2) a method for utilizing a floating power generating vessel to generate electrical power.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a perspective view of a paddlewheel power generation device representing a paddlewheel with a curved-bottom venturi having curved side walls and a trough for an area in which the paddlewheel contacts a flowing water source.
