System for collecting energy from a moving mass

A system consisting essentially of:

• a tunnel implement, said tunnel implement is configured for immersion in a moving mass, wherein at least an energy from at least a part of the moving mass passing through said tunnel implement is operable for conversion to a rotational force;
• a collector device disposed in said tunnel implement, said collector device having at least an open state and a collapsed state, wherein said collector device in said open state is configured to resist the moving mass;
• a controller device, wherein said controller device is configured to operate said collector device in said open state and said collapsed state;
• a sensor device, wherein said sensor device is configured to sense a position of said collector device;
• a trigger device, wherein said trigger device is configured to trigger said sensor device to inform said controller device of said collector device in said open state and said collapsed state;
• a cable device, wherein said cable device is operable for at least transferring reciprocating motion of said collector device and operable for transferring a system activation to said collector device;
• a pulley device, wherein said pulley device is configured to impart a direction of travel to said cable device;
• a bidirectional drive motor device operable for imparting a drive mode to said pulley device, wherein said bidirectional drive motor device is configured to drive said pulley device in a predetermined direction at a controlled speed and duration;
• a cable guide device joined to said tunnel implement that is operable for guiding said cable;
• a rotatable device that is configured to align an intake of said tunnel implement to said moving mass;
• and
• wherein the moving mass comprises at least one of water and air.

A system comprising:

• a tunnel implement, said tunnel implement is operable for immersion in a moving mass, wherein at least an energy from at least a part of the moving mass passing through said tunnel implement is operable for conversion to a rotational force;
