Benefits of technology

[0015]Tide Range Multipliers can provide leverage which convert natural tide ranges to larger tide ranges using lever arms dual size pulley spools. Volume of fluid lifted during each tide can be doubled, tripled and more making use of small tides more feasible by reducing initial unit cost per kwh of power generated. Additional volume is offset by increase of float buoyancy.

Problems solved by technology

Only limitation to high pressure is ability of pump equipment to with stand high pressures and only limitation to capacity is the availability of enough space and water depth to install and operate multiple pumps and pumps with larger impeller faces.
The only costs are equipment, installation, operation and maintenance.
When large volumes of liquids or gases are pumped, piston rings and seals are not necessary because one way valves will not allow back flow.

Embodiment Construction

[0023]I am using the figures FIGS. 1A and 1B, 2, 3A and 3B and 4 and 5 drawings and component numbers to describe and explain interaction of components and operation of systems and to show how my inventions work and benefits.

[0024]FIGS. 1A AND 1B SEA WATER PUMP—Also applies to pumping any fluid with some modifications. See FIGS. 3A and 3B and 4 and 5

[0025]Edge seals 29 minimize leakage on edges of impeller 28,32; movement path 30, 34 shown for impeller 28, 32; anchor legs 46 in foundation 48 which sets on sea bed 50 support pump housing 22; solar collector 52, (battery, controls, and communications) 54; conduit and conductors 53; to back wash valve 25.

[0026]When pumping sea water, pump 22 interior is open to sea through inlet 42, 44. A float 10, 12 rides on high and low tides 14, 16 over tidal range 18 making and releasing tension in cables 20 which raise and lower an impeller 28, 32 inside pump 22. When tide is falling from high tide 14, blades in impeller 28, 32 are pushed open as...

Abstract

An apparatus for pumping and compressing fluids using floats which ride on the tides, swells and waves of the sea lowering an impeller by gravity when the tide falls and discharging fluid through back flow prevention valves above impeller when sea level rises for any reason. Pump will deliver sea water at any selected pressure determined by buoyancy of floats. Increasing buoyancy increases discharge pressure or lift or volume. Sea water pump is open to sea on inlet side when pumping sea water. Sea water seeks its own level rising to sea surface through impeller and back flow prevention valve. When pumping other fluids, pump is not open to sea and connects to fluid sources of supply. The pump is modified to prevent leakage to sea when pumping all other fluids. Fluid volume lift is increased by adding tidal range multipliers to pump and increasing float buoyancy making it possible to deliver greater volumes of fluids each time tide rises.
