<p>The present invention comprises a container group formed by disposing in many stages a plurality of fixed containers (1, 2, 3, 4), each having an open lower surface and being capable of storing therein air, in parallel with one another and with predetermined gaps between them in a natural sea having the tide range; a container group formed by disposing in many stages a plurality of fixed containers (5, 6, 7, 8), each having an open lower surface and being capable of storing therein air, in parallel with one another and with predetermined gaps between them in an artificial dam not affected by the tide range; and air pipes P for communicating each container of the container group in the natural sea with each container of the container group in the artificial dam. This apparatus obtains energy of compressed air at high tide due to a hydraulic presure resulting from the tide range, stores it in the artificial dam, transfers it into deeper containers at low tide, obtains compressed air with higher energy at high tide, and repeats these operations. The apparatus can concentrate the tide energy dispersed in a broad range.</p> |
