Abstract
An air-blower tidal power generation device includes a rack, an air-blower mechanism, and a power generation mechanism. The air-blower mechanism includes a pumping device, a buoy, and an air conduit. The pumping device includes a cylinder and a stationary barrel movably coupled together. The power generation mechanism includes a constant-pressure and pressure-regulation device and a power generator having an air-driven turbine. Thus, tides move the buoy up and down to drive the pumping device for cyclically drawing and pumping air, and the air is preserved in the constant-pressure and pressure-regulation device to provide a constant pressure for subsequent and stable supply of airflow to the turbine for driving the power generator to generate power.
