摘要： A gravitational window shutter in a water gate for a system for harnessing power from current flow or tidal movement in a of water is disclosed. The gate is formed with a door for closing the port through which the water may flow. The door has a window in an upper portion thereof which is closed by a rotatable shutter. The shutter opens before the door, allowing a flow of water through the window, which reduces the drag on the door. The door is then able to open more rapidly. A gravitational closure causes the shutter and door to close. The gravitational closure is formed by a counter weight on the shutter. An improved configuration of the chambers is also disclosed. The chambers have an upper portion of a rectangular configuration with a larger volume to increase the volume of air flowing through the system and a lower portion of a cylindrical configuration to reduce the hydraulic losses due to vortices during water inflow and outflow.

摘要翻译： 公开了一种用于在水中利用电流或潮汐运动的电力系统的水闸中的重力窗闸门。 门形成有用于关闭水可以流过的端口的门。 门在其上部具有由可旋转快门关闭的窗口。 快门在门前打开，允许水流过窗户，这减少了门上的拖动。 然后门能够更快地打开。 重力关闭导致快门和门关闭。 重力关闭由快门上的平衡重组成。 还公开了腔室的改进构型。 腔室具有较大体积的矩形构造的上部，以增加流过系统的空气的体积和圆柱形构造的下部，以减少由于在水流入和流出期间的涡流引起的水力损失。

摘要： Individually useable wave-powered pumping means, solar distillation means, and cyclonic wind generating means, together with a system which employs each of them for harnessing natural energy sources are disclosed. Wave and solar energy, together with Coriolis acceleration are employed in the system which includes a basin for water situated near an ocean, or other such body of water, having a surface subject to wave action. A solar energy trasmitting cover is provided over the basin for solar heating, and evaporation of water contained therein. Vapor condensing means are located adjacent the bottom of the basin, and an upwardly extending inlet conduit, or passageway, connects the condenser to a source of water vapor above the water surface of the covered basin. Cooled air, and distilled water, are discharged from the condenser to a location outside the covered basin. Due to Coriolis acceleration, air enters the inlet conduit to the condenser with a rotational, or cyclonic, motion and wind driven means are located in the rotating air path for drive rotation thereof. Cooling fluid for the vapor condensing means is provided by relatively cold ocean water pumped into the basin by wave operated piston pumping means which includes an elongated upright cylinder anchored to the ocean floor near the shore.

摘要： A power generation system for the generation of electrica power from wave motions of the sea comprising a spine on which a plurality of ducks are rockably mounted and for each duck a power generation assembly comprising a hydrostatic transmission having a pump operatively connected with a drive which is rotated back and forth by the rocking motion of the duck, caused by the wave motions of the sea and a variable displacement motor hydraulically coupled to the pump so as to be driven by the pump. The system further includes an electric generator operatively connected to the motor to be driven thereby so as to provide electrical power and a sensing means for sensing the force or velocity condition of the duck and for varying the motor displacement in accordance with such condition.
