PURPOSE:To obtain a total conversion system in which the sea water is stored in a tank situated as a high position by labile energy possessed by wind, tidal current, and surge and converted into electric energy by a hydraulic engine at the lower part, while the desalination of the sea water is performed to supply fresh water. CONSTITUTION:Natural energy possessed by tidal current, surge, and wind is converted into rotary or reciprocal movement by the converters b, c, d, and e to work a rotary pump or reciprocal pump, by which the sea water is pumped up to a tank or a basin f through a pipe and the energy is converted into potential energy. pressurized sea water is supplied from the tank or basin f to the power generating hydraulic engine a provided at the lower flat position to produce power which is, in turn, is utilized in the operation of the sea water desalination equipment g by an ion exchange membrane method. |
