Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure include a tidal power generator comprising a first container, at least one second container pivotably coupled to the first container, a frame pivotably coupled to the first container, a first valve, associated with the first container, configured to selectively control ingress of a first volume of a first fluid into the first container, and a second valve, associated with the first container, configured to selectively control egress of a second volume of the first fluid out of the first container.
Claims15
A tidal power generator comprising:
- a first container;
- a shaft;
- a second container coupled to a first side of the first container via the shaft and a third container coupled to a second side of the first container via the shaft, the second side being opposite the first side, and the second container and the third container being pivotably coupled to the first container;
- a frame pivotably coupled to the first container;
- a first valve, associated with the first container, configured to selectively control ingress of a first volume of a first fluid into the first container;
- and
- a second valve, associated with the first container, configured to selectively control egress of a second volume of the first fluid out of the first container.
