ABSTRACT:
A tide-driven generator comprising a prime mover connected between an inlet conduit which is suspended at a fixed depth near the surface of the ocean and a discharge conduit which is supported on or near the ocean floor. A plurality of outwardly directed ports in the discharge conduit wall enable the continuously flowing, outgoing undertow to entrain and induce flow in the discharge conduit so that there is flow in the system, even at outgoing tide.
