Abstract
The present invention is a floating platform capable of supporting a turbine assembly. The platform and turbine assembly may be configured so as to resist drag. Drag may be absorbed by holding members attached to the present invention above and below the moment center. Furthermore a pivoting cable may be incorporated in the turbine assembly whereby the turbine assembly is moveable and thereby able to absorb drag that is exercised upon a non-moveable rigidly positioned turbine as excessive torque on the turbine rotors. The turbine assembly is further pivotable between vertical (working) and horizontal (transportable) positions.
