Abstract
Our invention is to build a tidal (wave to energy) power station. The intake system is similar to existing power stations.
1. There is a funnel like entrance which is then continuously/consecutively shrinking in size so when the high tide rises the water is forced up the narrow end of the tunnel/funnel.
2. Some where on the narrow end is a turbine which is spun by the water force that then generates electricity.
3. For the water to enter the smaller/narrower tunnel where the turbine (and perpendicular change in direction of the tunnel/funnel from vertical to more horizontal) is situated, the smaller/narrower tunnel where the turbine is may have to be below the surrounding water surface level.
4. The purpose of the energy wave turbine We could play around with sizes of component (their sizes and which are included below and/or above) for example we could make most of the sea/ocean end (wave power with air intake) take up the entire site, and use the energy gained from the wave power to air turbine's energy produced to power a pump to feed the salt water to the boiler which through solar energy produces not only more energy but fresh water as well.
The difference is that in our invention, the salt water is fed into a boiler that is surrounded by mirrors that focus the sun's energy on to the boiler:
1. The water in the boiler is boiled into steam. Another option is to use TALL
GRAVITY TO ELECTRICITY INVENTION to heat via microwave and/or electric element, also powered by wave turbine above and steam turbine below; to pump the salt water into the boiler; to heat the boiler; and cool apparatus (part), condensate the steam.
2. The boiled steam spins a turbine producing more energy.
3. And the steam is then condensate, producing fresh water, bacteria (virus also?) free water (further treatment is possible depending on toxins and/or heavy metals.
The fresh water can be used for drinking. The fact that the water's source is from a sea and/or ocean there is a large supply. A short pipeline (in poorer countries -alternatively using tanker trucks) and a longer pipeline in (less desperate higher crime rate countries) can be built to transfer the fresh water to be used in agriculture.
