I meant a turbine that rotates horizontally. I was just wondering maybe some angles of the blades for low speed water turbine maybe a 3-4 mph stream of water.

If you are speaking of a high efficiency 'propeller', it would need to be calculated. It has the same 'problems' a wind turbine has (HVAT) of twist and such.

If you are truly interested look up those from "HPV" - human powered vehicles, Pay special attention to those used in watercraft.

Propulsor would be a good keyword to explore.
