Abstract: An underwater hydraulic tool has a hydraulic motor with an inlet port and an outlet port for receiving and discharging water under pressure and a rotating shaft rotated by water under pressure with the front end protruding from said motor for holding a working tool. A rear mounting member is attached to a rear part of the hydraulic motor and has openings spaced circumferentially therearound. A front mounting member is attached to a front part of the hydraulic motor and also openings spaced circumferentially therearound. At least portions of the openings in both members are located outwards of the outer circumferential wall of the hydraulic motor.

Abstract: A wave-power generator assembly including a pair of one-way turbines symmetrically mounted on a common rotating shaft is provided. Because of the symmetrical arrangement of the one-way turbines, the rotating shaft and, therefore, bearings to rotatably support the rotating shaft are prevented from receiving excessive thrust forces. Thus, the present generator assembly may be presented to service for an extended period of time without requiring replacement of parts.
