ocean power (ocean power, the blue power (3rd edition))

Here we go again! Every time I think about my first ocean power, the blue power project video some new ones come to mind. Im not talking about a project how to build a wind generator in my garage. Im talking about big projects and the concern we have on how to solve the demands of power that our civilization will have in the near future. The collective mind may solve our dilemma. Here is my input! So, out with oil, out with coal, out with hydro electrics and in with wind, ocean and sun.

What I envision is parts of the oceans that are suitable for this project to be covered with thousands of ocean power stations. Oil platforms pollutes the oceans with oil, chemicals and heavy metals and sooner or latter they are bound to retire but we can give them new life in a new (world) way!

Marine environment is hard on anything that stays in the water for long time. Barnacles and sea weed are like pests, adds weight and can stop any moving part dead on. My project uses old platforms as base for many generators but it can also be built on land. It uses old technology and nothing that does not suppose to be close to the water is in the water.

Probably it would not have any bad impact on marine life and perhaps marine life itself could benefit from it since fishes would be using the underwater columns for nursery. I bet there is nothing better for a fish swimming in open waters then to find a platform for shelter. For sure it is not funny to be running around with a mouth full of teeth right on your tail fin and no place to hide!

I went back to my video after someone’s (alexmanru) comments and I noticed a flaw on my drawing that was really disturbing. But I think I have corrected it, now. (See the revised drawing at: ocean power - (errata))

[alexmanru]

1) You should put another one generator on incoming air flow - that will double your performance!

2) Why you are using oil?I am not sure if this required,if you worrying about salt water, it is ok then, but through the time the oil will be disappeared.

3) Don't make so long tubes (in depth) the pressure of water changes by waves on the surface not in depth(ok, more on the surface rather on depth).

4) I like your piston for pressure,i might use it on my next improvement.

With love from Russia!

@alexmanru ... Thank you for your input! The #3 is completely right. As you know, the collective mind is powerful. Sorry about the wildfires over there. Salute.

You and the rest are 100% OFF TRACK when itcomes to power construction.. this is not good enough, you want a cost effective, constant producing ,non wearing device. ALWAYS take everything back to the early day inventers as they knew much more than we do now.. Learn Tesla

[jmvneto51]

I may be ´´100% OFF TRACK`` but to include the rest is to say that science has stalled, which is not truth! By saying that I dismiss your affirmation that says inventors knew more in yesteryears.

Maybe duct the "air in" reed valves to the turbine outlet, to take advantage of the pull and push of the wave. hmm? Makes it a sealed system and can hopefully stave off the harsh marine environment.

[jmvneto51]

Yeah! Marine environment is tough! Take a look at my ´´ocean power, the blue power`` or ´´ocean power, the blue power (2nd edition)`` and you will notice a floating viscous plug inside the ducts to isolate salty water droplets from the turbines above. It can be added a fresh water spray nozzle or environmental friendly lubricant spray nozzle to come on at intervals to wash the upper part of the ducts as the air rushes out passing the turbines. Isnt it cool, as we talk the ideas flow.

@alexmanru Venturi effect very nice !

[cabidas]

If you use the Wells turbine, you negate the need for valves. The blade will spin the same way on intake and output.

[cabidas]

@alexmanru Wells turbine?

[krasteller]

There is a turbine being tested in the same principals in scotland that actually can produce energy in both directions so this eliminates all need for valves and big pipe systems. The air flows in and out straight through the turbine and it produces continuos energy. The technology is not the problem nor the cost but the influence of big companies who can't sell any minerals.....

[alexmanru]

@jmvneto51 Hi there again. Wanna another advice? How about to make the input chambers (or pipes as You call them) in cone shape? Your waves level in chamber will jump much more higher, cause so great amount of water at the beginning(wide bottom) of chamber will have nowhere to go, but up. I am working on the almost same design here and 1-2 years. I got a prototype tested, worked pretty well at very low waves&small waves are my target,since I wanna use it in Greece-no ocean waves here:)

[UnconventionalDice]

Seawater plus any kind of complex valve mechanism = constant failure points.

[thesevenghost]

Good idea:

But this can improve productivity by use benefit during air intake. We must make air flow in one direction thru turbine tube by adding some one way valve & a little piping system.

So the turbine continuously moving without delay because we able benefit from up & down ocean wave.
