Seems like a lot of faff for what are basically toys.

They are still toys. Well made pretty toys but toys all the same.

Possibly a pretty toy that could charge a battery though.

So if you got only half an amp but over 24 hrs...unlike wind the energy source would be constant. Just add one of those underwater motors Andrew is fond of, although I imagine you would need a rectifier somewhere as well.

You would need lots of them in parallel and series. |

These devices need a head of water ie pressure to operate. For a free flow of water one would need a different contraption.
I have an automatic ebay notification for an Ampair UW100.
Yes it is like a pod motor the other way around.
The fouling issue could be significant I think though.
At the country estate we get high flows in winter so it would certainly be a valuable tool.
