LVM Ltd's Aqua6Gen LVMAQ612 water turbine is a unique semi-submersible design. Designed for use as a tow-behind generator to supply power to recreational boats, it could also be installed above a fast-moving river to supply power to a cabin or campsite.

The alternator housing is mounted above water, most often tied to the rear deck railing of a moving boat, while the propeller/shaft assembly is submerged 1-3 meters under water, connected to the alternator housing via a cable or rope. As the boat moves forward (or the river current passes beneath), the propeller rotates the alternator drive shaft through the rope/cable link.

This innovative design makes it very simple to remove the propeller from the water when boat speeds exceed the turbine's ideal speed/drag range, or during inclement weather. It's portability also makes it an ideal "temporary" power source for vacation cabins if a mounting location can be devised above a sufficiently fast-moving river.

The Aqua6Gen is available in both 12 and 24 volt (LVMAQ624) configurations. It starts to generate power at 3.5 knots boat speed, and produces up to a continuous 16 amps at 12 knots boat speed with the included 90mm blades installed.
