Abstract: Apparatus for harvesting power from the wind, mounted on a vertical support or pole, has two linear “power harvesting devices” arranged in V-shaped configuration with the apex of the “V” mounted for rotation in a horizontal plane about the vertical support. The two power harvesting devices move under the influence of incoming wind to orient themselves such that the apex of its “V”-shape structure always faces the incoming wind. The power harvesting devices are each provided with blades attached for movement with a linear endless drive conveyor. With the apex of the “V” facing the wind, the blades are oriented to intercept this wind and to cause movement of the conveyor drive to which they are attached.

Abstract: A boat for retrieving energy from a flowing stream of water, such as a river or tidal flow, which can be easily moved to a convenient location and which is capable of capturing a significant portion of the energy of the flowing stream. The boat has a bottom and two sides, forming an elongate hull with a bow and a stern at opposite ends, and means for anchoring the boat to hold it stationary in a stream of water. The boat has openable hinged members at the bow and stern to allow water to enter the interior of, and to flow through, the hull from one end to the other. Devices such as paddles are arranged inside the hull for converting energy of the water flowing through the hull into mechanical energy of a rotating shaft.
