A system for converting fluid flow into electricity. The system has an arm assembly with four floats that rotate around a center float. The floats on the arm assembly are all provided with impellers that turn one half revolution for every one revolution of the arm assembly. This slow rotation maintains the impellers at the optimal angle to convert the flow of the water current into rotational motion of the arm assembly, regardless of the orientation of the arm assembly. The arm assembly is coupled to an electric generator provided on the center float that converts torque generated by the arm assembly into electric power that may either be stored on an on-board battery or transmitted by wire for use elsewhere.
