Title:
HYDRODYNAMIC ARRAY WITH MASS TRANSIT TUNNEL
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2016180307
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hydrodynamic array that has mass transit tunnels.SOLUTION: A hydrodynamic array includes multiple hydrodynamic elements, including a tidal modulator, for producing electricity by the motion of ocean tides or river currents and forces acting on the hydrodynamic array, which is immersed in ocean tides or river currents and which is in motion relative to the ocean tides or river currents. A viaduct with mass transit tunnels sits atop the hydrodynamic array. A system is provided for producing electricity hydrodynamically. The system comprises a viaduct including the mass transit tunnels, and the hydrodynamic array including the tidal modulator. The tide modulator is configured to support the viaduct, and further configured to generate electricity from the motion of ocean tides or river currents and forces acting on the hydrodynamic array. The tidal modulator is configured to modulate the ocean tides or river currents.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
