Abstract
The objective of this project is to design an enclosure that will protect and seal a generator from salt water. The generator is driven by a shaft that is rotated by a series of four helical turbines to produce a small amount of electricity (roughly 1hp). The sealed generator housing and the helical turbines will be mounted on a support structure which will be mounted differently to a concrete slab. These components will be submerged in sea water
