  • Patent number: 8841790
    Abstract: There are a large number of sites in the world's oceans and rivers that can provide a significant, viable, and cost effective source of renewable energy. Many are strategically located close to populated areas where these sites can be used to harness energy using ecologically benign hydrodynamic technology. A hydrodynamic array comprises multiple hydrodynamic elements for producing electricity by the motion of ocean tides or river currents and forces acting on the hydrodynamic array, which is immersed in ocean tides or river currents and which is in motion relative to the ocean tides or river currents.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8836155
    Abstract: A hydrodynamic array comprises multiple hydrodynamic elements, including a tidal modulator, for producing electricity by the motion of ocean tides or river currents and forces acting on the hydrodynamic array, which is immersed in ocean tides or river currents and which is in motion relative to the ocean tides or river currents. A viaduct with mass transit tunnels sits atop the hydrodynamic array.

  • Publication number: 20120186676
    Abstract: Tidal modulators are described by which the tidal flow may be started, stopped, or regulated by movable parts that open, shut, or partially obstruct one or more passageways to modulate the tidal flow so as to enhance capturing its energy.
