The device based on basic principles of mechanical and hydraulic engineering, entirely built in metal on ground platforms or floating platforms, which function is to transform the mechanical energy from water movements and turbulences in seas, lakes and rivers into electric energy, independently from tides. The power plant system, that transforms mechanical energy into electric energy, uses in its operation floating buoys (1), crowbars (3) fitted on the steady axis (4) hold on the pilaster (5). This format consists on the crow-bars support point connected to the, by knee action, toothed arms (7). The toothed arms function is to give continuity in the movement made by the buoys in its descendent movement. The toothed arms are connected to the ratchets (8), hold on the spinning axis (9), pilaster (10), that is connected to a wheel (15) to give balance in the movement made by the spinning axis (9). And this same spinning axis (9) is connected to a big cogwheel (11) that is connected to a small cogwheel (12) hold on the spinning axis (13), pilaster (19), that is directly connected to the Gear Shift Box of Great Rotation (14), pilaster (20). In the Gear Shift Box of Great Rotation (14) exit there is a spinning axis (16), supported by pilaster (21), directly connected to an Electric Energy Generator. The POWER PLANT is a very simple hydro mechanical system, does not require in its operation the inundation of a huge area to produce electric energy. Neither compromises forests and agricultural areas. In addition, this kind of Power Plant does not affect the biodiversity development.
MARINE HYDROELECTRIC POWER PLANT, based on principles of mechanical and hydraulic engineering, characterized by new segment of grouping system using floating buoys, crowbars, ratchets, cogwheels, wheels, gear shift box of great rotation and connections to the electric energy generator, entirely built in metal, uses the energy from water swings and turbulences in seas, lakes and rivers to acquire electric energy, the system that makes it happen is the floating buoys, FIG. 1, connected to the point (2), with knee action, by the arm (25) attached to the crowbars (3), with support point (5), a pilaster, and connected to the crowbars (3), and these connected to the steady axis (4) and to the point (6), with crowbars knee action, and these connected to the toothed arms (7) that impels the system, connected to the ratchets (8), forming the primary base in the process of acquiring electric energy using floating buoys, these buoys acquire the energy from water swings and turbulences in seas, lakes and rivers, independently from tides, and to complete the Marine Hydroelectric Power Plant Working System, the ratchets (8) are hold on in the spinning axis (9), and this connected to the wheel (15), that helps to balance the spinning axis (9) action, and at the same spinning axis (9) it is hold on a small cogwheel (12) that is connected to the spinning axis (13), and this axis makes the connection directly to the Gear Shift Box of Great Rotation, at the Gear Shift Box of Great Rotation exit is connected the spinning axis (16) that makes the connection to the Electric Energy Generator, these parts make the entirely MARINE HYDROELECTRIC POWER PLANT System.
