You guys don't half jump from one subjet to another in the same thread!! but returning to my original message.
Although I was not concerned about the money I could make from my design, any amount forthcoming would not be sniffed at as I do have grandchildren. Let me start by saying that 5 years ago I attended Southampton Univercity Oceanographic Centre for a semina on renewable energy, this mainly involved water. There were people from all over the world who contributed designes and facts which I found very interesting. I took my model along with me and set it up in the main hall, during the day I was bombarded with questions and interests even by professors who knew a thing or two but all said that they had never considered my design and were amazed at how well it operated. That said, I took maybe three dozen cards from people and over the following months chased them up. Those that replied were all interested in making money for themselves even one guy from the Royal Institute in London where I sent my complete design and portfolio.
Forget your ideas of a gravity fed system as you are on a completely different path, my system is actually called "Tidal Padel Generator" as it implies it is a large padle wheel by not on a horizontal axis but a vertical axis with 8 curved blades each haveing a surface area of 144 square feet (12'x12') for the basic system. (Blade sizes can be increased for larger generators) the wheel drives a shaft to the surface, through a gear box to the actual generator. ""Simple"". Idea has been around for a thousand year by today all we want to do is OVER ENGINEER things when the simplest thing actually work. They don't have to be located in rough seas as one guy pointed out, there are over 1000 locations around the UK within sheltered areas where the tides can run up to six knots, (info from the Oceanographice survey) What's more, once set in location they work on both the ebb and flood tide without any resetting unlike wind farms. The big secret is just the fact that there also deflection plates which increase the flow of water towards the drive while at the same time causing a reversed vortex behind the plate which reduces the resistance of the trailing edge of the wheel, in fact, from my observation during my model test actually enhanced the rotaton. So there you have it guys. not rocket science. just thinking out of the box. Trust me, it works....

Renewable Energy
Dear Editor,
In my seventy forth year, I have become increasingly frustrated and annoyed at the Government and Media attitudes towards Renewable Energy thinking that the way forward is Wind and Solar energy. The absolute truth of the fact is that they are both VERY unreliable, unpredictable and completely over engineered.
There is, however, one form of energy which is 700/800 times more powerful than wind and 2500 times greater than solar, it's an energy that is totally predictable for 20 hours per day, 365 days per year and is guaranteed never to let you down, providing the Moon stays in the sky. You may have guessed already that I am referring to Tidal Stream Energy but I should point out, at this stage, that I am not referring to Tidal barrages or tidal turbines as each destroy fish stocks or have huge impact on the environment.
I spent 15 years developing a system, addressing both the environmental impact on sea creatures and the acceptance of a construction at sea by the shore observer. A system that is simple to use and maintain. Is not over engineered as like many existing projects and would generate up to 30 Mega Watts of power per hour, unlike a wind turbine that produces 2 MW when the wind is blowing.
So far, all my correspondences to Government, Universities and local authorities have either fallen on deaf ears or they choose to ignore, for what reason I do not know. However, I do know that my system works as I have already tested a model I built which exceeded my expectations.
We are killing our world, destroying the very foundation of our existence all for a few quid today for the privileged few. I fear for my grandchildren as they deserve our generation to embrace any form of technology that will help to save our planet.
Please forward this letter to anyone you feel who has the investment capability to take my invention further. Thank you for reading..

Trump is the best president the US has ever had. He's never married an American woman. The guy knows what it takes to be successful. Ask his wife. That's why I like him.

Hard to tell if you are being sarcastic, considering Trumps last visit over there. Trump is an okay president, but don't think he's the best we ever had. Could have been, but he lacks aggression. After the investigation was over, he should have been jumping all over the democrats who pushed in the first place, and continue to push. There wasn't sufficient evidence to even start, and should have ended in a few weeks, when they found that out. They pushed the investigation to keep digging. Trump knew there was nothing to find, and wanted to get it over with, and get to work on real issues, which was called obstruction, and used to keep the investigation going, hoping to dig up some paydirt.

Trump's wives... Most people who live in America, don't exclusively buy Made in America. We buy what we like, and cheapest, if possible. Doesn't matter who made what.

In the 1950's I helped my Uncle Harry design and build a functional test model of a tidal generator. When he died he left the patent to me. It is still laying around here someplace. Since it has long since lapsed it is only a memento.

After I got out of my stint in the Air Force and was looking at it I calculated the power of tidal currents and they are insignificant to the power being necessary to power a modern society.

The ideas that are being forwarded for "modern tidal power" units are so impractical that it is easy to see that they actually have no knowledge of anything that is put into water at the few places in the world where you could extract a reasonable amount of power from tidal motions.

Solar power and Wind power aren't much different, they all provide power, and useful in some applications, but aren't up to the task of taking over the needs of a power grid. The 'reasonable' part is usually ignored, because the fuel is free, and 'clean' of that evil CO2... For some, it's a good deal, at any price. Least, until they start having to pay the bill, and find the service lacking.

The one advantage of wind or solar is that you are not limited to the very few places in the world where the tides are compressed to the point where there is sufficient current to be usable. The depth of the water under the deepest part of the Golden Gate is only 750 feet and if you put any impediment to the current flow it would begin eroding the shorelines and dumping sediment into the deep hole. There are the same problems around the Bay of Fundy, the entrance to the Black Sea or the North Sea.

And in almost every one of these areas it would interfere with shipping.

The Gulf Stream has a tremendous amount of power in it but the area of the current is so wide that the actual speed is quite slow. Again, you cannot drain any power from it without making something so incredibly large that it is either impossible to make or it interferes with other things. Furthermore, if you take much power out of the Gulf Stream, you cause dramatic environmental damage to Iceland.

That's why it would need to be something like a vertical axis watermill. As such it doesn't need to have the huge tip speed.

The design that I remember looking like it would be most successful was one that had 3 cables set up much like the tower tri-poles set up. Periodically it had an area that would widen out to give it more stability. These areas had vans to keep them faced into the current. The bottom of the cables were anchored just a oil rigs anchor themselves. Every so often, you would have a pump that pushed water up a pipe to the surface. The pipes were powered by vertical axis watermills. Basically, these were just large buckets arranged around a ring that ran the pumps.

At the top of the "rig" was a turbine that ran a generator. Since the electronics and such were never in the water, they were not at risk.

They do have things that can keep the corrosive effects of salt water away for quite some time and each individual pump could be shut down without affecting the whole. This would allow robotic subs to take them apart and put new parts ever few years, allowing the old parts to be repaired or replace.

Even if it was only a few hundred feet, the amount of water being pushed up the pipe would power a large turbine.

I don't remember where I saw this, since it was decades go, but it might have been in popular science or some mag like that.

Totally autonomous robots, no, but we do use them with people controlling them to do things at great depths.

About the same as an oil rig. Likely a lost smaller though.

It would be possible to have things at a distance that would prevent fish of a certain size away without disrupting the flow.

They require continuous maintenance too. Remember, that costs money.

It is simply easier to maintain the equipment with men.

No, it wouldn't be in the way of any ship traffic except submarines.

Fish are not the problem. Barnacles, seaweed, coral, algae, and other stuff that grows on the equipment itself is the problem.

dehammer wrote:

Simpler, but much more dangerous. Some people put the lives of people over profit.

dehammer wrote:

To keep maintenance cost down, all the electronics and electrical equipment would be above ground. This keeps them out of the water and puts them in positions that men in short sleeve shirt could work on them in safety. THAT means they would be in position ships would have to go around. Most likely they would not be put in shipping lanes.

Those are a problem that can be dealt with, using normal maintenance. If you read his line, it WAS about fish.

Robots are slow and clumsy.
