Abstract
A tidal operated pad 4, containing air 10 and water 11, creates pressure within a pressure chamber 8. The pressure within the chamber forces water through turbo generators 7, and valves 6 up into a reservoir 1. A third turbo generator 2 is driven by water draining from the reservoir. <IMAGE>
Description
TIiD'.L rO2K FAD G'-NER*'TOR SYSTsE! This invention relates to generating power from natural forces. The natural force used in this invention is the movement of water between low and high tide.
Natural sources of generating power are well known in many forms but rely on the unpredictable wind and solar energy, plus large installations that use tidal forces are restricted to river estuaries with a great difference between high and low tides.
The Tidal Work Fad Generator System has the advantage of using the consistent rise and fall of the tide's movement without being restricted to a given location. This system can be used with smaller tidal movement. The work pad of this system referring to the drawing 1 is designed to take full advantage of the movement between high and low tide. This is done with the work pad 4 having two sections, these sections 1C and 11 of equal volume. One section containing air the other water. This combination creating equal pressure within a pressure chamber 8 on rise or fall of the tidal movement. ;is water is forced out of pressure chamber to reservoir 1 it will generate power with the two turbo generators 7.
On each cycle of movement the four one way valves 6 will enable the correct flow of water within the system. This low of water will enable the two turbo generators to take their turn to generate power on refill cycle of the pressure chamber.
The third turbo generator 2 will then be used as required with the stored potential of water in reservoir.
k work pad will be of two metres in depth. This is to spread the pad so to take full use of the difference between low and high tide, each section of this work pad having one metre in depth, this giving equal force on both movements between high and low tide.
A work pad covering an area of five metres by six metres with the given depth and having a volume of thirty cubic metres per section will give a working 21,000 kg. weight force. Work done by this given force will raise 49.3 kg.
per second to a reservoir third metres high. With a given tidal movement of O. 64 metres per hour the given pressure chamber for this coast location unit would be seven metres in height with a volume containing 1,760,000 kg. weight of water. This size unit with a tidal work pad system placed with a tidal difference of 3.3 metres has a generating capacity of 70,900 k.w.h.
over one daily tidal cycle, plus the return potential of 2,112,000 k.w. from reservoir. igure 1 in perspective shows the function and layout of the system, but not to scale.
Claims (4)
- CLAl ;j5CrlIIS 1 A Tidal Work Pad Generator System consists of one double action work pad plus one pressure chamber. The pressure chamber is required to force water from within and up into a given height reservoir. The system has three turbo generators, two of which generate on the movement of the tide's rise and fall. When work is done the work pad then acting on chamber forcing water up into a reservoir. The third turbo generator is used with the return potential stored in reservoir.
- 2 A Tidal Work Pad Generator System is claimed wherein claim 1 consists of one double action work pad, this pad creating pressure within a given pressure chamber.
- 3 i Tidal Work Fad Generator System as claimed wherein claim 1 or claim 2 consists of one pressure chamber, where pressure within will force water up into a given height reservoir.
- 4 A Tidal 4ork Pad Generator Systen as described herein with reference to figure 1 of the accompanying drawing.
