ABSTRACT:
A system for extracting useful energy from sea currents. A pair of drag inducing devices is disposed in the sea current, and connected by cables to a windlass at a location upstream of the drag devices. Each drag device has a selectably variable drag resistance in the sea current, and the drag devices are controlled so as to reciprocate toward and away from the upstream location. The reciprocating movement of the drag devices is converted into rotary motion by the windlass, and the rotary motion is used to perform useful work.
