The paper summarizes the results of the research entitled Design and implementation of the prototype of an electric hydro generator, carried out in the research group Macrypt of the Faculty of Engineering of the Universidad de los Llanos. The objective of the project was to design and implement an electric generator from the energy supplied by a water source. The methodology used was that of an feasible and experimental project. The electric power generated by the prototype was equivalent to one kilowatt of electrical power, and an output voltage of 12 volts, with an efficiency of 95%. The prototype was put into operation in a body of water near the municipality of Villavicencio (Meta), in the path of La Argentina, with geographical coordinates in latitude 4 ° 12’6. 82 “N and Longitude 73 ° 38’24. 51” W, at 546 meters above sea level.
