Flowing and open streams can produce electricity using waterwheel or floating waterwheel turbines. Hydrokinetic energy from open streaming water in open channels has the potential to back neighborhood power needs since of lower administrative and capital speculation compared to customary seizing water implies. This research outlines key design parameters of interest, effective tools, and methods for the engineering characteristic rank arrange concurring to the customer’s prerequisites in Quality Function Development (QFD). The higher action chart is the common data approximately the capacities performed by the item and useful modeling that depicted the detail work handle. For concept generation, a few methods used in a specifying the design by using the process and methodology such as Design analysis, Design for Assembly and Morphology analysis. The general design will be proposing in the finalize result. A new design of floating waterwheel prototype had been proposed and drafted with the purpose to generate electricity. Finally, this design had met the requirement and guidelines for the development process. In future, mathematical model and data survey should be formed to develop the product.
