Abstract
A ducted water turbine is configured to be installed in a subsea environment to generate hydroelectric power and broadly includes a turbine housing, a turbine rotor, and a generator. The turbine rotor includes a peripheral rim and a plurality of rotor blades mounted to and extending radially inwardly from the rim. The turbine housing includes a duct that permits water to flow through the housing. The peripheral rim is rotatably mounted in the duct, with the water flow causing the turbine rotor to spin. The turbine rotor is drivingly connected to the generator and powers the generator when the turbine rotor is spun by the water flow.
