FLOATING TIDAL POWER PLANT TO BE PLACED IN SEAS AND RIVERS FOR GAINING ENERGY

摘要

A B S T R A C TFloating water current power station comprising aring-shaped pontoon (3) which by means of a mooringbitt (5) is anchored to anchors (1)All turbines (21) are detachably arranged on a commonbeam (11) and can as a unit be swung up to thesurface within the area limited by the ring pontoon(3).The power station may swing around the bitt (5) theupper end of which is connected to a front pontoon(9) and the lower end (6) of which is secured to theanchors and which is moreover provided with tensiondistributing warps (16) to the turbine beam (11) andwarps (7) to the same pontoon side as the one towhich the bitt is secured.(Fig. 1)
