Abstract
A series of research, testing and measurements are already conducted with regard to the completion of a dream to implemented an effective undershot floating waterwheel operating on rivers with low current speed. It already specify the effective blade working on impulse principles to exstract the energy contained in the water. These testings and measurements including the finding of effective scoopy blade and the effective gamma angle, and the effective pitch of blades at certain wheel diameter. The next work, is testing the stability of waterwheel raft during operation on the river surface. All of the studies on effective undershot waterwheel are aimed at a dream to empowering rivers as a source of microhydro green energy for rural communities. The undershot floating waterwheel becomes interesting because of several following reasons: (1) It could installed in series at the part of the river that does not disturb the river traffic activities. (2) It operating on the river surface with no pollution to water or to air at the site. (3) It gives contribution to grow up the community's economy, through supplying the energy with no cost. (4) It protects the environment and ensuring the sustainability of national economic and physical development.
