    Abstract: A tidal power generation device includes a container assembly and a power generation device arranged in the container assembly. A water inlet of the container assembly allows a tidal water flow to enter. An entrance guide plate of the container assembly causes the water flow to advance in the direction of the power generation device to push the power generation device's thrust plates, and thereby driving the power generation device's thrust plate traction mechanism to make a power generator of the power generation device convert kinetic energy into electrical energy. After the water flow pushes the thrust plates, it enters a pressure accumulating pool of the container assembly. Then, the water flow in the pressure accumulating pool flows to a backflow guide plate of the container assembly, and flows to a first pressure relief pool of the container assembly to continue pushing the thrust plates.

    Abstract: An apparatus attached to the underside of a barge, a boat, a ship, a buoyant marine structure, and/or the like may include a plurality of conduits. A configuration of the plurality of conduits may increase the velocity of water moving, for example, at a high velocity due to the buoyant force (upward force) under the barge, the boat, the ship, the buoyant marine structure, and/or the like. The water, due to the increased velocity, may cause a plurality of hydroelectric generators to produce a vast amount of electricity and/or power.

    Abstract: A separation assembly comprises a housing, a jet that expels a fluid within the housing, and a turbine assembly positioned within the housing and positioned so as to be contacted by the fluid expelled from the jet. The fluid causes the turbine assembly to rotate about a center rotational axis within the housing. The turbine assembly comprises a first turbine portion and a second turbine portion that are separately formed from each other and attachable together. The first turbine portion comprises a plurality of first vanes and the second turbine portion comprises a plurality of second vanes.

    Abstract: A wave-power system configured to produce electric power is provided. The wave-power system may comprise a floating body structure, a set of blades attached to the floating body structure, a weight assembly, a bidirectional to unidirectional shaft assembly and/or a power unit. The weight assembly may comprise a plurality of weights which may rotate around a first axis of rotation as a result of floating movements of the floating body structure. Rotation of the plurality of weights may cause an input shaft of the bidirectional to unidirectional shaft assembly to rotate. An output shaft of the bidirectional to unidirectional shaft assembly may rotate in a first direction, regardless of a direction of rotation of the input shaft. Rotation of the output shaft causes the power unit to produce the electric power.

    Abstract: A turbine for extracting kinetic energy from a fluid includes a runner, a turbine-inlet having an entrance and an exit that is adjacent the turbine's runner, and a turbine-outlet having an entrance that is adjacent the runner and an exit. The runner extracts kinetic energy from fluid flowing through the turbine; the turbine inlet directs flowing fluid into the runner; and the turbine-outlet directs flowing fluid away from the runner. When fluid flows through the turbine, the fluid flowing through the turbine-inlet toward the runner flows around and adjacent the fluid flowing through the turbine-outlet away from the runner.
