yeah, aside from the above reasons. The resistance of the water would not let the turbines turn fast enough to produce any real serious amount of power.

But how about this idea, Magnetic power. Get a series on magnets and align them inside of a double wheel with the opposing forces repelling each other. In theory, you would get constant movement, if it would be strong enough to move a big turbine. I really don't think so, but it should produce enough power for an individual household.
