SYSTEM FOR COLLECTING ENERGY FROM A MOVING MASS

摘要

A system including at least one tunnel is configured for immersion in a moving mass. An energy collector is disposed in the at least one tunnel. The energy collector has at least an open state and a collapsed state where the collector in the open state collects at least an energy of at least a part of the moving mass passing through the at least one tunnel. Alternate activation of an actuator device joined to the energy collector and an activator joined to a weight implement alternately transitions the energy collector to the open and closed state. The alternate transition of the energy collector imparts a reciprocating motion of the energy collector and the weight implement. A cable system joins the actuators for transferring the reciprocating motion. A pulley system translates the reciprocating motion to a rotational force for driving rotational mechanisms.

1. A system comprising:
a tunnel, said tunnel 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 is operable for conversion to a rotational force; an energy collector disposed in said tunnel, said energy collector having at least an open state and a collapsed state, wherein said energy collector in said open state is operable to resist the moving mass; a weight implement, wherein said weight implement being configured to be operable for retrieving said energy collector in said collapsed state; a first actuator device configured to engage said weight implement; a first actuator activator configured to activate said first actuator device, wherein an activation of said first actuator device is operable to transition said energy collector to said collapsed position; a second actuator device joined to said energy collector, said second actuator device being operable for transitioning said energy collector between said at least open state and collapsed state; a second actuator activator disposed within said tunnel, said second actuator activator being operable for activating said second actuator device, wherein an alternate activation of said first actuator device and said second actuator device at least imparts a reciprocating motion of said energy collector and said weight implement; a cable system joining said first actuator activator and said second actuator activator, wherein said cable system being operable for at least transferring said reciprocating motion of said energy collector and said weight implement; and a pulley system for at least translating said reciprocating motion of said energy collector and said weight implement to said rotational force.
