Abstract
The invention concerns a floating tidal turbine comprising:
- means of flotation,
- a technical room resting on the means of flotation above the water and in which is disposed an electrical generator,
- a mast immersed in water beneath the control room,
- a propeller mounted rotationally on the base of the mast around a horizontal axis of rotation,
- means of transfer that make it possible to transmit the rotational movement of the propeller to the electrical generator, and
- a manoeuvring system that is designed to raise or lower the mast along a axis that is vertical relative to the technical room.
