Abstract: Combined sheets and a method of producing combined sheets. A combined sheet includes a main sheet including a first main indentation feature providing a first overhang over a first portion of the main sheet and a second main indentation feature providing a second overhang over a second portion of the main sheet. The combined sheet also includes a foundation sheet abutting the main sheet. The foundation sheet includes a first foundation indentation feature crimped to the first main indentation feature and a second foundation indentation feature crimped to the second main indentation feature. The first overhang and the second overhang provides overhangs in different directions to prohibit separation of the foundation sheet from the main sheet. The method of producing the combined sheet includes co-locating the main sheet to abut the foundation sheet and pressing one or more indentation punches for forming indentation features providing overhangs in different directions.

Abstract: An apparatus for generating energy by intake and drainage of a fluid includes a reservoir and a pair of receptacles in fluid communication with the reservoir and mounted above the reservoir. Each of the pair of receptacles has a variable volume for holding the fluid. The variable volume is controlled by movable portions. The apparatus includes a lever rotatable about a lever pivot. The lever is coupled at a first side of the lever pivot to the movable portions associated with a first one of the pair of receptacles. The lever is coupled at a second side of the lever pivot to moveable portions associated with a second one of the pair of receptacles. The apparatus includes control valves controlling fluid communication between the pair of receptacles and the reservoir and a controller coupled to the control valves. The apparatus includes a generator coupled to moving portions.
