摘要： An apparatus for transporting water is described. The apparatus includes a large number of identical units that contain fresh water, for example, and which float on the sea. The units are alternately controlled to rise and fall with a first tide and to remain at low tide during the next tide. This motion, along with valves to allow fresh water to flow in one direction only, provide a water transport system that operates using tidal power.

摘要： A power generation system is provided. The power generation system includes a floating body, a transmission device, a transportation tank, an upper container, and a power generator unit. The transmission device is driven by a tidal force or a buoyant force through the floating body to lift up the transportation tank to a first position, which is near to the upper container, or to lower the transportation tank down to a second position, which is at a lower level than that of the electric motor to recycle the solid particles. The upper container for carrying a plurality of solid particles is disposed at a higher level than that of the power generator unit, and is used to store and release the solid particles to drive the power generator unit to generate electric power.

摘要： Assemblies systems, and methods are disclosed for generating energy from natural forces and, more particularly, to energy generation using tidal action. A tidal energy conversion assembly includes a displacement vessel housing a directional converter that is coupled to an electrical power generator. The tidal energy conversion assembly further includes an anchor cable having a first end, a second end connected to the directional converter, and a length in between the first end and the second end. The anchor cable may be threaded through an anchor at a stationary location, such as a sea floor. The rising, falling, and/or drag forces of the tide cause a change in the length of the anchor cable thus exerting a force on the directional converter. The directional converter converts this force into rotational energy that may be harnessed by the electrical power generator to generate electricity for consumption.

摘要： Three bodies interact to drive a transmission having a pair of one-way clutches coupling a single length of drive chain or other elongate flexible member to an intermeshed pair of counter rotatable gears so as to drive a primary shaft in a single rotational direction. The three bodies are a fixed body, a floating body, and a suspended and usually submerged weighted body. The three bodies are interconnected by the single length of the elongate flexible member and are spaced apart there along. The weighted body is mounted at one end of the elongate flexible member. The primary shaft is mounted above the surface of a moving fluid mass to either the fixed or floating body. The end of the flexible member opposite to the weight is mounted to the other of the fixed or floating body.

摘要： A tidal power generation system incorporates a buoy tethered to a first cable with a power generation spool engaging the first cable for rotational motion upon extraction of the cable by the buoy during elevation increases of the water on which the buoy is riding. An electrical generator is connected to the power generation spool and a rewinder for the power generation spool reels in the cable during receding water elevation. A gear drive interconnects the power generation spool and electrical generator with a gear reduction in certain embodiments for increasing generator rotational speed. The rewinder uses a rewind spool connected to the power generation spool and engaging a second cable for counter-rotational motion. A mechanical energy storage device is connected to the second cable. A suspended weight provides energy storage in the first embodiment while a spring attached to a fixed anchor point provides energy storage in an alternative embodiment.
