Patent ID: 7902684

Claim:
A power generation assembly for use in generating electrical power from air or water currents, comprising: a) a tiered multiple rail system; b) a vane assembly, having a frame and at least one vane configured to interact with said current to produce a force: c) a car assembly, slidably mounted to the rail, including a first and second guide wheels and a longitudinal axis element running between the first and second guide wheels and a linkage portion coupled to the frame, the force being usable to move the cars assembly with respect to the rail system; d) a power-take-off device operatively coupled to the cars assembly, whereon the power-take-off device is coupled to the longitudinal axis element; and e) a generating system having: i) a generator, and ii) a cable operatively coupled to the generator and engaged to a cable clamp grip conjoined to a power-take-off device, the generator being driven when the power-take-off device moves with respect to the rail system.
