An improved river and tidal energy module designed to harvest energy from tidal and river sites. Arrays of modules are anchored to the shore at right angles to a prevailing tldat and river current. Each module is composed of an energy absorber and a mooring system. The energy absorber comprises a nacelle, a propeller attached at a hub, the propeller is connected to a driveshaft which turns a gearbox to drive an air compressor. The mooring system comprises a wing-shaped polymer shell attached to the nacelle, the shell creates negative lift to eliminate any upward motion of the energy module; a mooring cable housed inside the wing-shaped polymer shell, and a high pressure hose housed inside the wing-shaped polymer shell to transfer compressed air to an air turbine generator for conversion into electricity by an onshore air turbine electric generator connected to the local power grid. |
