  • Patent number: 5582008
    Abstract: A turbine comprising first and second stages, the first stage being a power stage and the second stage being an exhaust stage, a piston-cylinder assembly is connected between the stages, a shaft extending between the stages has at least one throw thereon in the piston-cylinder assembly and pressure conduit means extend from the first stage to the second stage and to the piston-cylinder assembly whereby the fluid pressure from the first stage drives the piston-cylinder assembly and acts on the second stage to cause the second stage to exhaust fluid from the turbine to a reservoir therefor. Fluid is supplied to the turbine from a pressure source and the turbine exhausts fluid to the reservoir, and further including means for transferring the fluid from the reservoir back to the pressure source.

  • Patent number: 4454429
    Abstract: This invention makes use of the action of ocean waves, converting the water power to electrical energy. This is accomplished by increasing the size of the wave and converting the wave action to hydraulic power, using a turbine and a generator. With this method energy can be stored in tanks (under pressure) and used when needed.
