Abstract:
The Archimedes Power Generator is a process designed to produce electric power from rising and falling water levels of the ocean due to tidal motion. The generator is composed of a barge enclosed within a containment area that has holes built into the containment walls allowing the barge to rise and fall in unison with the tides. On the top of the barge is a turbine, or series of turbines. Each turbine is connected to a toothed shaft that is installed through the barge (using seals to keep out water) and solidly attached to the bottom of the containment area. The toothed shaft is linked to a toothed gear on the turbine so that as the barge rises and falls, the armature of the turbine spins, creating the potential for the production of electricity.
