Abstract

A tidal barrage for directing a flow of water onto one or more turbines wherein the walls comprise three main parts and wherein both sides of the walls direct the flow onto turbines arranged in parallel. The first and third sections of wall 1,3 are parallel to the flow arriving and leaving the barrage. The second, central section 2 is set at 40 degrees to the flow. At the outside edge of the wall where the sections meet, the walls extend in arcs 4,5 to direct the water onto the turbine so that the turbine will rotate in the same direction whichever direction the water flows, the turbine having a vertical axis.

Description

Tide and wave power barrage (Description)
It is a rigid concrete system of dams in which one or more turbines are implemented. These can be built in side by side one or many levels,( see fig. 3), according to local requirements.
Present and working tide power barrages work one way only, using the power of the ebb tide, whilst this innovation can work for two ways.
The tide comes in the form of wave which turns the wheel of the turbine either to the right or to the left. It can not happen at this innovation With the help of bent, geometrical sidewalls the turbine can work in both directions during tide. The waves don't turn the turbine smoothly, so the turbine doesn't rotate the generator directly, but turns an oilpump, which presses the oil into a surge tank, from where, through a by-pass valve, it goes into an oil engine, which makes the generator work.
Geometrical sidewalls, which move the water to the turbine, both with side "A" and "B",(fig.1)containing three straight lines (marked 1,2,3) and four half circles( marked 4,5,6,7).
Figure 1. The A side of the access sidewall, (marked with arrow "a") frontal straight section (marked 1) is perpendicular to the axis of the turbine. The second straight part,(marked 2), turns 40 "to the right and its length is determined by the size of the turbine wheel. The third straight part turns 40' to the left. The length of the first and third straight parts are determined by the width of the dam. At the peak of the angle localized by 1,2 parts of sidewall "A" two arcs are formed. Arc 4 moves the water to the turbine, arc 5 doesn't let water coming from the opposite direction flow beside the turbine, so it increases the efficiency through increasing pressure.
Arc 6 helps the smoother flow of water. Arc 7 connects A and B sides of the wall together with a curve. Similar geometrical line can be found on side B of the sidewall, but from the opposite direction, marked with arrow "b".
These characteristical sidewalls surrounds the turbines fig 3,2, and can continue on one after the other, and can also be implemented on many levels. Fig.2, 3.
The axis of the turbine stand vertically fig 1, 2, 3.
The geometrical shape of second version are the same with the first one, but the turbine axis is horizontally fig 4.

Claims (7)

  1. Claims 1. It is rigid concrete system of dams with geometrical sidewalls. Each sidewall has A and B sides, which move the water to the turbine.
  2. 2. Geometric side wall according to claim 1, contains three straight lines and four half circles.
  3. 3. The first part of the sidewall is perpendicular to the axis of the turbine.
  4. 4. The second part of the sidewall turns 40' to the right and its length is determined by the size of the wheel of the turbine.
  5. 5. The third part of the sidewall turns 10' to the left. The length of the first and third part of the sidewall is determined by the width of the dam.
  6. 6. At the peak of the angle localised by the first and second walls two arcs are formed, marked as 4, 5 on fig.1. Arc 4 moves the water to the turbine, arc 5 doesn't let water coming from the opposite direction flow beside the turbine, so it increases effeciency through increasing pressure.
  7. 7. The B side of the sidewall mentioned in claim 1 follows similar geometrical line as side A, but from the opposite direction marked arrow "b" on fig.1
