The tidal activity in
land is much smaller than that of in the sea because of its
less flexibility and high density. With the help of a
hydraulic system, it is possible to extract energy from land
tidal activity.
When the tide occur, the top surface of
the Earth will move up and down and the body structure
of the mechanism fixed on the top surface will also move up
and down (see diagrams below). But there occurs a relative motion between
the top surface of the Earth and the bottom of the supporting
stand because of the density difference between the top and
bottom (density will be less on the top surface), flexibility
(elasticity) difference between the top and bottom
(flexibility will be more on the top surface). The large
two-way head piston is rigidly connected to the strong
rigid-supporting stand and which is rigidly fixed in the
bottom of the deep well.
During the upward motion of the cylinder (assume that the
relative movement between the top and bottom is about 1cm), as
the large two- way head piston is remaining stationary related
to the bottom, the inside volume of lower chamber will
decrease and the fluid in it will experience a high pressure,
that causes the fluid in it with a volume of 0.0824m3
to escape through the 32.3cm diameter cylinder (Sc4 - see.fig)
provided on the body structure. Since there is a small piston
4(Sp4) which can slide through its small cylinder, the fluid
will push this piston in 1meter and the one way
piston 2 (Lp2) connected on the other end will also moves
1meter. Since the diameter of the one way cylinder2 (Lc2) is
1meter then, the volume of the displaced fluid by Lp2 will be
0.785m3 and this fluid will escape through
37.7 cm diameter cylinder 3 (Sc3). This causes, the
small piston 3 (Sp3) and the small piston 2 (Sp2) with
the rack slides through the small cylinder 2(Sc2) and small
cylinder 3 (Sc3) in 7meter. As the rack is meshing with
the pinions P1 & P2, it will rotate and through the gear
train of the required gear ratio the power will be transferred
to the rotor of the generator; and by its rotation,
electricity will be produced.
Similarly, during the down ward motion of the cylinder, in the
tidal-fall, the inside volume of upper chamber will decrease
and the fluid in it will experience a high pressure that
causes the fluid in it with a volume of 0.1m3
to escape through the 35.6cm diameter cylinder (Sc1 - see.fig)
provided on the body structure. Since there is a small piston
1(Sp1) which can slide through its small cylinder, the fluid
will push this piston in 1meter and the one way
piston 1 (Lp1) connected on the other end will also moves
1meter. Since the diameter of the one way cylinder1 (Lc1) is
1meter then, the volume of the displaced fluid by Lp1 will be
0.785m3 and this fluid will escape through
37.7 cm diameter cylinder 2(Sc2). This causes the small piston
2 (Sp2) and small piston 3 (Sp3) with the rack, slides through
the small cylinder 2(Sc2) and small cylinder 3 (Sc3) in
7meter. As the rack is meshing with the pinions P1 & P2,
it will rotate and through the gear train of the required gear
ratio the power will be transferred to the rotor of the
generator and by its rotation, electricity will be produced.
