ocean power, the blue power

The other day I was sitting on the rocks at the shoreline close to where I live when just from a hole came this gushing of ocean spray! Those are some drawings of that event harnessed by my imagination!

As the idea progressed and became more involving I started to see it as a simple piston engine and started to think of it as such. In the late hours (it just took me one day to put it on my Microsoft Paint, something that everyone has on their PCs) I was adding valves and pistons per saying. And that is one of the main points about my idea! I want to call attention to wherever one sees a valve in this drawing, remember, it is a Reed Valve. It can be made of many different materials, even synthetics, and in an environment like the one we have here it could be almost indestructible. That means, very low maintenance! Many reed valves can be used in a single place. They can have different resistance points! Or they can be made into multi-stage reed valves with smaller ones within larger ones that provide more air flow as needed. So, what do you think of that?

This is basically the same design as the "Wave Dragon" v=r7-EPR8Ss6M

@saintveil - How can you see it as ´´basically the same design as the "Wave Dragon" v=r7-EPR8Ss6M ? To begin with nothing of what is in this video is even close to the ocean water, much less the turbine itself. I’m not saying that there is nothing like that around, but what is in this video came to me as my own idea, it was not copied from anywhere. To say it looks like the ´´wave dragon`` is showing me some kind of disability.

The idea is sound and will work.

Unfortunately, it's also a fairly old idea, which has had running wave power stations of this type since .. uhmn ... around year 2000 I think ?

Still, lovely idea. :)

@Jesus45U... Thanks! Although would be great to include the name or even the location of such power station for everyone’s knowledge. A yesterday’s TV might even resemble a newer TV (not a flat screen for that matter) but it is just that, resemblance. You can have vehicles that look very similar from outside but do have completely different power train or are built for different purpose. They just look! Some times we just see face but do not see heart!  Salute.

The water/air duct can be built on the face of the cliff (or inland) just like an aqueduct and as many as wanted. Just like a power station! The ducts on my drawing are thru the rocks because I thought was better to picture the idea this way. Putting ducts into the ocean at different distances from the cliff (from the shore) it is possible to use the power of the same swell many times.

hmmmit coud be ... it not an idea for a model i think you need more Psi and the water is not the right (kloben?) to press air .. sry im from germany

[whotookmynickkokokai]

it will not work well, the wave energy is near surface

[bleachtn]

why those green technologies are not used nowadays ?!

[shazly17]

what do you think the energy output would be?

[saintveil]

@jmvneto51 - Sorry; and thank you for the clarifications. Is it fluid or air which runs the pump? This reminds me of the hydram pump; uses air; where the hydram suddenly slams shut in order to spike the pressure. Development, you might now consider using both low and high pressure for power.

using a vawt type arrangement would capture energy in both directions because they do not require directional air and you could dispense with all the valving arrangements and just have an open flow in both directions with a constantly spinning lift type wing array. These systems take air from any direction and turn it into one directional rotation and because the flow is 24-7, 365 days a year has the potential for some very stable production
