ABSTRACT:
A system for generation of power from tidal changes which comprises: (A) two or more chambers positioned in proximity to tidally influenced water, each chamber being of a height greater than the maximum tidal height difference, each chamber being capable of being filled with water, and each chamber having a series of vertically arranged ports, each port being controlled by a valve, and (B) a turbine mounted on a float and positioned in such manner that an inlet for the turbine is capable of receiving water from the ports in sequence as the float rises or falls in response to tidal changes.
