An energy generating device having a drum and at least one vane that is movable between a deployed state and a stowed state as the drum rotates to capture energy potential from flowing water and converting it to usable electrical and/or mechanical energy. The movable vanes can automatically retract when not in the flow of water and re-deploy when entering the flow of water over the drum. The present system can generate usable electricity or mechanical energy from slow but steadily flowing bodies of water without the need to dam, restrict, or alter the path of the water flow.

Method and apparatus for generating electricity

Various embodiments are described herein for an electronic device and associated method for detecting potential objects in the vicinity of the electronic device. In one example embodiment, the electronic device may comprise a transceiver arm including a transceiver for transmitting source signals and receiving response signals potentially indicating at least one object in the vicinity of the user, a main body that is pivotally connected to the transceiver arm to releasably mount to an article of the user during use and include at least one processing unit for generating a feedback control signal indicating when there is at least one detected potential object in the vicinity of the user based on the response signals; and a transducer movably coupled to the main body for providing feedback to the user based on the feedback control signal when there is at least one detected potential object in the vicinity of the user.
