<p>A marine power plant consists of barges 1 tethered to each other, each supporting a number of wheels 2. The wheels 2 each carry a number of pneumatic cylinders (figure 5) which are compressed by water pressure as the wheel rotates. The compressed air is fed back to power generators on the barge, possibly through a hollow axle (6, 7, figure 4). Turning of the wheels 2 may be assisted by air jet, or mechanical aids. The primary means for rotating the wheels is not mentioned. A seaweed garden may be developed between an outer and inner boom to absorb raw energy to create a passive area around the Barges. The plants could be processed on site to make animal feed, biofuel and fertiliser. They would also break down carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and the water, reducing acidity and ocean temperature.</p> |
