1. A floating power generation system comprising:
a) a floating power generator comprising:
i) a floating platform;
ii) a first fin assembly coupled to the floating platform and comprising:
a plurality of first fins that are configured to pivot from a flow of water from a first pivot position to a second pivot position; and
a first fin-yoke cable coupled with the plurality of first fins and extending to a first flywheel;
iii) a second fin assembly coupled to the floating platform and comprising:
a plurality of second fins that are configured to pivot from said flow of water from a first pivot position to a second pivot position; and
a second fin-yoke cable coupled with the plurality of second fins and extending to a second flywheel; and
iv) an electrical generator configured on the floating platform and coupled to at least one of the first flywheel and second flywheel and configured to produce electrical power;
wherein the plurality of first fins are configured to direct said flow of water into the plurality of second fins to cause the second fin to pivot to a second pivot position; and
v) an actuator that is configured to move the first fins from a first pivot potion to a neutral position; and
wherein the actuator is coupled to the first flywheel.
