Abstract: An ocean tide energy conversion system is disclosed which uses incoming and outgoing tidal flows into a flume with a power wheel and power increaser to furnish power to a turbine pump to lift ocean water into an elevated holding reservoir. Electrical energy is produced when the water in the reservoir flows through a penstock to operate a generator before it is returned to the ocean. This system is completely operated by tidal flows.

Abstract: I am the sole inventor of this tide water energy system. This energy source is inexpensive and sustainable. Tides are available the world over and should be utilized as a source of efficient, non-polluting energy. A horizontal power wheel of different sizes can be used to generate power to a vertical pump. A series of gear increasing systems will lift ocean water to a storage basin. Storage basin water is used to operate a turbine powered generator to produce electricity. A tide height of 4 feet or more will effectively power this system with no pollution. All materials for the use and manufacture of Tide Operated Energy System to be salt water compatible.
