Lets say I will be operating a generator underwater in a "box" sitting on the river floor. Turbine blades will be spinning a rotor attached to said generator, and obviously the turbine blades are exposed to the water and the generator is sealed in the box. I'm having trouble identifying what type of component could allow the rotor to spin freely yet keep all water out. The box will be at depths no greater than 20 ft underwater, and in fresh water only.
I imagine the solution is something similar to a submarine's propeller seal... but my background is in electrical engineering, and I'm not sure where to look. Any help is sincerely appreciated...
