Abstract

A system of buoys for obtaining useful energy from tides includes control buoy, Fig. 1, incorporating control limit switches and a winch for anchoring the system just below the waves of the sea, pressure buoy, Fig. 2, containing an oil pump operated through a rocker arm by float buoy, Fig. 3, provided with special flanges designed to work with the tide and with whirls from the waves. In use, the float buoy operates the oil pump which then supplies oil under pressure through a non-return valve to an oil pressure accumulator (42), Fig.5 (not shown). The energy from the system may be used to drive electrical generators. <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION Tide buoy oil pressure system This invention relates to perduce oil pressure part of a controled system to drive large electrical generators.
This invention isto perduce oil pressure by the means of the tide. And just below the waves of the sea.
This invention is designed to work automatically through a electrical contact gauge set at high and low perssures. Accourdingto atmospheric conditions of the sea. All so it can be manul operated, from a control box well awayfrom the anchor buoys.
Figure 1 shows a anchor buoy, which has in side a winch drum. A electric motor. A electric control box. A electric contact gauge. Two limit switches. A controlled water extractor. Air to counterbalance the weight.
Figure 2 shows a buoy which has in side it. A rocker arm. Pressure oil pumps from 1 to 8.
Figure 2 oil to swspplythe pumps. A oil inlet. A oil outlet. Plates forfixing pumps to, top and bottom. 1 20F eye spring clips fixing bolts for chains. Air to counter balance weight.
Figure 3 shows a rocker arm float buoy. Acompart mentforthe rockerarm.Air and oil for balanance of float.
Figure 4 shows a concrete blockwithflexable rings forfixing to the anchor.
Figure 5 shows a birds eye view of the whole invention. There must be four anchor buoys. One anchor buoy is the master controler of them all. Which in turn controles the oil pressure buoys.

Is manual at lowtide. Then 20ft below the surface. The4buoys Fig. 1 would be switched to automatic. And ifthere is 60ft on the drum. Then 40ft would be leftto go up and down with the tide, or bad weather. The buoys would have to be in line with the tide coming in and out. The size of Fig.1, Fig.2, Fig. 3 would depend on the weight. All so the anchor cable and the concrete weight.
