Patent ID: 8143733

Claim:
A system for nautical torque tidal movement power generation comprising: an arrangement of power generating devices, said arrangement composed of said devices in an independently electrically interconnected modular arrangement, said devices operating independently of each other as components of said arrangement and wherein said devices are capable of electrical communication between each other within said arrangement, wherein said devices are interchangeable with each other in a plurality of positions within said arrangement, and wherein said devices are positioned to receive kinetic energy from the movement of water, and wherein said devices convert said energy by the movement within each of said device; a plurality of 1800 RPM accelerator gear boxes wherein said accelerator gear boxes are mechanically coupled to one or more large particles of mass through one or more torque conversion units; each of said torque conversion units comprising an upper drive arm coupled to a first counterbalance large particle of mass weighing at least 150 tons, a lower drive arm coupled to a floating second counterbalance large particle of mass which floats synchronously on a tide and travels in a substantially vertical translation with said tide at a rate of substantially one foot per hour, said drive arms coupled to a circular sprocket, wherein the continuous upward and downward movement of the floating large particle of mass produces a continuous rotational movement of the circular sprocket through the accelerator gear box, wherein energy is generated from all vertical movements of the large particles of mass, one or more cotter pins, a lower free floating guide sprocket, a reversible gear box helical gearing unit, one or more deep set, reinforced pylons and a circumference sprocket coupled to said reversible gear box; and one or more final large particles of mass coupled to said tidal movement wave wherein said large particle of mass is configured to produce a minimum torque to drive one or more power generating devices.
