Patent ID: 7994649

Claim:
A sustainable energy system for pelagic deployment comprising: a frame comprising an upper portion and a base, wherein said base is configured to be fixedly attached to a floor of a body of water; at least one wind turbine generator, said at least one wind turbine generator coupled to said frame; at least one pair of water turbine generators, said at least one pair of water turbine generators coupled to said frame; a rotatable joint disposed between said upper portion and said base, wherein said rotatable joint allows said upper portion to rotate relative to said base; a second rotatable joint disposed in said upper portion, wherein said upper portion comprises a first portion and a second portion, wherein said first portion is closer to said base than said second portion; a positional controlling system disposed in said frame configured to control rotation about said rotatable joint and said second rotatable joint, wherein said at least one wind turbine generator is coupled to said second portion, wherein said at least one pair of water turbine generators is coupled to said first portion, wherein said positional controlling system disposed in said frame is configured to rotate said second portion in accordance with ambient wind direction by causing rotation about said second rotatable joint, and wherein said positional controlling system disposed in said frame is configured to rotate said first portion in accordance with ambient water current by causing rotation about said rotatable joint.
