A hydro-electric power system for use in a flowing stream of water comprising a dam structure projecting part way into said flowing stream having an open end and a closed end, said dam structure being disposed at an acute angle relative to a shore line of said stream forming a progressively narrower

A hydro-electric power system for use in a flowing stream of water comprising a dam structure projecting part way into said flowing stream having an open end and a closed end, said dam structure being disposed at an acute angle relative to a shore line of said stream forming a progressively narrower opening between said dam and said shore line from said open end to said closed end whereby said open end projects into said flowing stream to receive and collect water causing it to flow between said dam and said shore line directed from said open end of said dam to said closed end; and means for generating power including a spillway connected to the closed end of said diversion dam in fluid communication with said water collected by said dam whereby water flows in said spillway, at least one water driven wheel positioned in said spillway adapted to be turned by said water flow in said spillway, turbine-generator means for producing power and driving means connected between said water wheel and said turbine generator means to drive the same.
