The invention claimed is: 1. A hydroelectric generator arrangement comprising: a drive member being disposed at one end of a support arm, the drive member being operably connected to a generator; a water driven mechanism disposed along the support arm in rotational communication with the drive member; a retraction mechanism arranged and disposed to position the support arm; and a cradle bearing having a threading, the threading being attached to the drive member and being threadedly attached to the cradle bearing; wherein the cradle bearing permits the drive member to rotate, and wherein the cradle bearing permits the support arm to pivot. 2. The hydroelectric generator arrangement in claim 1, further comprising a flexible drive shaft configured to be in rotational communication with the water driven mechanism. 3. The hydroelectric generator arrangement in claim 1, further comprising a rotational torque converter comprising a gear arrangement arranged and disposed between a generator and the drive member; wherein the gear arrangement is configured to communicate rotational torque from the drive member to the generator. 4. The hydroelectric generator arrangement in claim 1, wherein the water driven mechanism is a water wheel. 5. The hydroelectric generator arrangement in claim 1, wherein the support arm is adjustable; and the adjustability permits positioning of the support arm in a substantially parallel relationship with a water stream. 6. The hydroelectric generator arrangement in claim 3, wherein the drive member is driven by the water flowing over a dam or spillway. 7. The hydroelectric generator arrangement in claim 1, wherein the retraction mechanism is a hydraulic arm pivotally mounted to the support arm and pivotally mounted to the support member. 8. The hydroelectric generator arrangement in claim 1, wherein the retraction mechanism comprises: cables affixed to the support arm; a winding mechanism housed on the support structure and attached to the cables; wherein the winding mechanism is configured to retract the cables thereby pivotally adjusting the support arm. 9. The hydroelectric generator arrangement in claim 1, wherein the gear arrangement is a wind system variable speed gear box. 10. The hydroelectric generator arrangement in claim 1, wherein the support arm comprises annular housing configured to transport heat from the generator to the water driven mechanism. 11. The hydroelectric generator arrangement in claim 1, further comprising a spillway deflector; wherein the spillway deflector comprises a deflector wedge, a deflector anchor, and a flat portion extending between the deflector anchor and the deflector wedge. 12. A hydroelectric system comprising: a drive member being disposed at one end of a support arm, the drive member being operably connected to a generator; a water driven mechanism disposed along the support arm in rotational communication with the drive member; a retraction mechanism arranged and disposed to position the support arm; a spillway or dam; and a spillway deflector; and a cradle bearing having a threading, the threading being attached to the drive member and being threadedly attached to the cradle bearing; wherein the cradle bearing permits the drive member to rotate, and wherein the cradle bearing permits the support arm to pivot. 13. The hydroelectric generator arrangement in claim 12, further comprising a rotational torque converter comprising a gear arrangement arranged and disposed between a generator and the drive member; wherein the gear arrangement is configured to communicate rotational torque from the drive member to the generator. 14. The hydroelectric system in claim 12, wherein the water driven mechanism is a water wheel. 15. The hydroelectric system in claim 12, wherein the support arm is adjustable; and the adjustability permits positioning the support arm in a substantially parallel relationship with a water stream. 16. The hydroelectric system in claim 12, wherein the retraction mechanism is: a hydraulic arm pivotally mounted to the support arm and pivotally mounted to the support member. 17. The hydroelectric system in claim 12, wherein the retraction mechanism comprises: cables affixed to the support arm at or near the second end of the support arm; a winding mechanism housed on the support structure and attached to the cables; wherein the winding mechanism is configured to retract the cables thereby pivotally adjusting the support arm. 18. The hydroelectric system in claim 12, wherein the spillway deflector comprises: a spillway deflector wedge; a deflector anchor; and a flat portion extending between the deflector anchor and the deflector wedge. 19. The hydroelectric system in claim 18, further comprising a chamber, wherein inflation of the chamber adjusts the angle of the spillway deflector wedge. 20. The hydroelectric system in claim 12, wherein the spillway deflector further comprises at least one cable extending between the deflector anchor and the deflector wedge. 21. The hydroelectric system in claim 12, wherein the spillway deflector further comprising: a first layer configured to resist debris; a second layer beneath the first layer; and a third layer beneath the second layer and abutting the dam or spillway; wherein the third layer is configured to resist abrasion from abutting the dam. 22. The hydroelectric system in claim 12, wherein the spillway deflector comprises material selected from the group consisting of rubberized polymers, plastic sheeting, recycled tires, and other synthetic materials.
