I want to build a houseboat that I could anchor in middle of a slow moving river and harvest the energy from the current under the boat. I also intend on using solar panels.I would also incorporate a floating garden area that uses the river water for irrigation. I'm high

       Wasn't this done ages ago, in the Seine, in the form of moored floating water mills?

       I'm reasonably certain somebody rich built a trans-oceanic racing catamaran using both wind and water power to generate electricity, but I'm too high to search for a link right now.
