Abstract

170,429. Paesano, V. Aug. 3, 1920. Tidal energy, utilizing.-In a system for utilizmg tidal energy comprising a reservoir, into which water flows during rising tide, and one or more wells in constant communication with the sea, within which are floats supporting one or more fluid motors, the connections between the reservoir and the motors are controlled by manually-operated or manually-controlled poweroperated valves. A tidal reservoir 12 is formed by a dam 10, Figs. 1 and 2, provided with openings 13 controlled by gates 14, which are simultaneously operated by means of a shaft 42 carrying worms 43 engaging worm segments 44 carried by the gates. Against the dam are built one or more wells 15 in'constant communication with the sea through openings 19. Each of these wells contain a float 16, Figs. 2 and 4, carrying a liquid motor, such as a turbine 21. The turbine shaft carries a gear-wheel 23 engaging a gear-wheel 24 mounted on the float. The axle 25 of the gear-wheel 22 carries another gear-wheel 30, which engages an elongated pinion 32 mounted in the side of the well, the length of the pinion being such that it is in continuous gear with the wheel throughout the range of the tide. Water is delivered to the turbines 21 through one or more openings in the turbine casing by means of flexible pipes 35 connected at one end to the casing and at the other to valves 36 controlling openings in the dam near low-water level. The valves 36, which, as shown, are of the sliding sluice type, are operated by stems 38, each provided with a rack 39 engaged by pinions 40 carried by a shaft 41, rotatable by hand or power. During rising tide, the gates 14 are opened and water flows into the reservoir. Simultaneously, the float 16 is lifted by the tide. At flood-tide the gates are closed, and during ebbtide the valve 36 are opened to admit water to the turbines 21. If the reservoir 12 is not sufficiently large to hold enough water to drive the turbines continuously during the fall of the tide, additional reservoirs filled by pumping may be provided at high elevations.
