Hybrid power generation system using tidal energy

A method of generating power from tidal energy, comprising:

• moving a tank in an upward direction and in a downward direction, the tank coupled to at least one vertical gear, the at least one vertical gear configured to travel with the tank, the tank travel based on a vertical motion of a tide of a tidal water;
• selectively permitting pivoting motion of the tank relative to the at least one vertical gear via adjusting a position of a hinge coupled to the tank and to the at least one vertical gear;
• rotating at least one circular gear via the at least one vertical gear, the at least one circular gear connected to the at least one vertical gear such that movement of the at least one vertical gear in at least one of the upward direction and the downward direction rotates the at least one circular gear;
• spinning at least one shaft via rotating the at least one circular gear, the at least one shaft connected to the at least one circular gear such that rotation of the at least one circular gear spins the at least one shaft;
• and
• transferring rotation of the at least one shaft to a dynamo, the dynamo configured to generate power from rotational movement of the at least one shaft;
• wherein adjusting the position of the hinge includes:
• adjusting the hinge to an unlocked position in which pivoting motion of the tank relative to the at least one vertical gear is permitted;
• and
• adjusting the hinge to a locked position in which pivoting motion of the tank relative to the at least one vertical gear is prevented.
