摘要: A fluidic structure configured to be mounted onto the hub of a fluidic turbine comprising a hub that rotates about a center axis, aligned to a main shaft that contributes torque to the main shaft of the turbine via the principle of lift and/or drag. The fluidic structure is mounted onto the hub of a primary turbine that contributes torque to the main shaft through increasing at least one of lift and drag, and the fluidic structure includes two or more curved fluidic elements that extend from an upstream tip that aligns to the center axis of rotation, to a downstream end at a radial position away from the center axis, and rotates about the center axis to contribute torque to the primary turbine; and a sensor positioned at or proximate to an upstream tip of the fluidic structure for determining environmental and turbine conditions and transmits information to a supervisory control and data acquisition system of the primary turbine.

摘要: A tidal energy converter has a pivoting lever that moves in response to tidal fluid moving other elements on the converter. The pivoting lever can be operatively coupled with an electricity generator to produce electricity. Namely, the pivoting lever may be coupled to an air source and compress the air to create a compressed air. The compressed air may be used to power an electricity generator. The pivoting lever is moved by fluid that empties from a feed tank to a spill tank. There may be one or more ballast tanks connected to the feed tank and/or the spill tank. Some of the feed tanks work in opposing unison with one of the ballast tanks.

摘要: An ocean wave and tidal current energy conversion system includes a first vessel and a second vessel, the first vessel being parallel and spaced apart from the second vessel. The first and second vessels include supports that receive cylinders that rotate from ocean waves and currents to create hydraulic oil pressure via hydraulic cylinders. The hydraulic oil in the energy conversion system is pumped into a pressure accumulator that removes hydraulic surges and operates an electric generator. The electric generator may power an electrolysis batch system for the production of hydrogen that fills each vessel with hydrogen gas.

摘要: A generating apparatus for converting kinetic energy from a water flow to electrical energy includes a housing including an inlet, a passage, and an outlet; an actuation device including a cylindrical member secured to the housing; an actuation member pivotably secured to the cylindrical member and having a spring biased downward extension in the passage and a horizontal lever; and a striking member disposed on an end of the lever; a rotational device including a power wheel rotatably mounted on a column; and a generator operatively connected to the rotational device. The generator produces electrical power output in response to water currents flowing through the inlet and impinging the extension, both the extension and the lever pivoting counterclockwise, the striking member hitting the power wheel, and the power wheel rotating about to the column. There is a guide member at an end of the downward extension.

摘要: A system for generating tidal power comprising a tank supported by at least one vertical gear, such that the tank travels in an upward direction and a downward direction with the at least one vertical gear, the tank travel based on a vertical motion of a tide. At least one circular gear is coupled to the at least one vertical gear, such that the at least one circular gear rotates when the at least one vertical gear moves in the upward direction and the downward direction. A shaft is connected to the at least one circular gear, such that the shaft rotates when the at least one circular gear rotates. A dynamo is attached to the shaft, such that the rotation of the shaft is transmitted to the dynamo for power generation.

摘要: A water-driven turbine has an elongated endless conveyor with down and up streaming straightaways connected by travel-reversing turns. Paddles mounted on the conveyor present high resistance to waterflow on the downstream straightaway and low resistance to waterflow or the atmosphere on the upstream straightaway, the differential allowing the flow of water to continuously drive the conveyor which is connected to a power take-off shaft facilitating connection to a variety of energy-harnessing systems. The turbine can be towed, self-driven or mooring line manipulated to a flow site and is operable in unidirectional flows such as rivers and reversing flows such as tides at depths from surface to bottom. The paddles can be mounted or changed on shore, at the flow site and anywhere in between. The turbine is efficient in low and high velocity water flow, not easily damaged by floating debris, cavitation free and fish, mammal and environmentally friendly.
