Abstract
A sea/river powered power plant that harnesses the movement of sea waves and river currents to convert them into useful electrical energy. The power plant contains turbines which rotate about a horizontal axis as the waves and currents strike a lower portion thereof, so to turn a shaft, which eventually operates a driven shaft of an electric generator.
