    Patent number: 4368392
    Abstract: A water turbine for open stream use featuring a vertical-axis cross-flow turbine in which cyclically-pitching blades are supported from one end only to permit the supporting structure and power generation gear to be supported out of the water. In preferred embodiments, there is independent pitch control of the turbine blades to make the blades responsive to the instantaneous flow in their vicinities.
