1. A continuous fluid flow power generator, comprising:
a power generator having a plurality of submersible turbine blades disposed in a frame in communication with a flow of fluid in a body of water wherein the turbine blades are rotated by the flow of fluid to generate electricity, a width of each turbine blade being between ⅔ to ½ of the frame diameter, the turbine blades arranged to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise and to produce a star pattern after a 360 degree rotation;
a guard disposed about the power generator for protection thereof, the guard being further configured as a reversal blade to maintain alignment of each submersible turbine blade;
a platform for supporting the power generator;
a tower disposed proximate the platform, the platform connected thereto, the tower having a docking area; and
a vessel equipped with a battery bank, the vessel dockable with the docking area, the battery bank being electrically connectable to the power generator to charge the battery bank.
