Abstract

A power generating apparatus combining; tidal height energy accumulators 10, a selectively isolated chamber system 42 and a venturi enhanced tidal flow energy generating device 72. Tidal height energy accumulators 10 are provided with first and second power generating means, allowing power to be generated on upward and downward motion of a float member. The incorporation of energy accumulators 10 within the chamber system 42, allows the energy accumulators 10 to be selectively isolated from tidal height changes. The sequential operation of energy accumulators 10 and chamber system 42 enables power generation to be controlled over a period of time. The structure of chamber system 42 diverts tidal flow into the tidal flow energy generating device 72.
