Colina (2018) points out that hydrokinetics takes advantage of the energy that is produced in the rivers and seas flows, through generators to that have devices attached such as turbines to produce electricity. Hydrokinetic turbines have the same operating principle as wind turbines, with the advantage that they work with a denser and more viscous fluid (water), the characteristics of the fluid allow higher energy densities and lower instabilities to be achieved. Hydrokinetic turbines are classified according to Kan, Bhuyan, Iqbal and Quaicoe (2009) by their configuration as: axial, vertical, cross flow, Venturi and gravitational Vortex. Cross-flow turbines work regardless of the flow direction as long as the rotor axis is perpendicular to the flow, that is why these turbines are omnidirectional. The Gorlov turbine has an helical shape that divides the forces evenly in each revolution, preventing any damage to the rotor. This type of turbine always has a blade with an ideal angle of attack to the flow.
