Abstract

196,660. Simm, S. Jan. 20, 1922. Tidal energy, utilizing.-Apparatus for utilizing tidal energy comprises a turbine 1 coupled to an electric generator 2 located in and fixed to an inner cylinder 5 and adapted to be reciprocated according to the level of the tidal water within an outer cylinder 7 provided with inlet and outlet parts, the reciprocating movement being obtained by means of a float 22 located in the tidal water and balance weight 21 acting through chains 20 on a sprocket wheel 19 and a cord 13 passing over the drum 14. The inner cylinder in which the turbine is mounted is provided with projections 8, 9 engaging grooves 10, 11 in the outer cylinder to prevent rotation. In order to provide the necessary head, a reservoir is constructed to accumulate tidal water to run the turbine and a second reservoir to receive the exhaust water. The inner cylinder is provided with longitudinal slots 23, 24 adapted to communicate with branch pipes 25, 26 having flared outer ends mounted in the outer cylinder and acting as inlet ports to the turbine. Similar pipes 29, 30 at a lower level acts as outlet ports these ports being connected to the tidal and exhaust-reservoirs by suitable piping. Sluice valves 31, 32 are provided' so interconneoted that when the ingress port on one side is opened the egress port on the same side is closed and vice versa. Beneath the cylinder 5 is arranged a cushioning chamber 35 communicating with the water in the tidal reservoir by means of perforated pipes 36.
