  • Patent number: 6968683
    Abstract: This electrical power generating system is applicable in any location where wave action in blowhole shafts can be constructed in the protection of the geological formation. This system by using high efficiency manmade blowholes is capable of producing large quantities of compressed air. These blowholes are excavated into the natural geological formation by the application of conventional excavation, soil stabilization or construction tunneling methods. Waves entering these blowhole shafts generate a wave piston that compresses trapped air in the excavated blowhole shaft. The compressed air generated in these manmade blowholes is then utilized to drive air-driven motors, water pumps and turbines for running electrical generators. The air processing equipment, high pressure piping, valves, and related instrumentation are made up of standard industrial hardware. Surplus compressed air can also be utilized to run second stage air equipment.
