Ocean Energy Capture Unit

Engineering and Architecture

This energy generation system utilizes marine dynamics by compressing air contained in conduit tubes and turbines. A spherical capture unit, with multiple perforations on its surface, captures the energy produced in its surroundings, independent of marine dynamics. These perforations are connected to conduit tubes via a conical structure to allow for the intake of a larger volume of water. At the other end of the conduit tube, a nozzle connects to a turbine that increases the pressure exerted by the water. Inside the conduit tube is a pivot or piston that moves according to the pressure exerted by the marine dynamics.
