ABSTRACT:
A wave and tide powered generation apparatus includes a frame which is fixed relative to the varying level of the body of water, and includes a float operably associated with the frame for movement in response to the varying level of the body of water. A rotatable drum is attached to the float and has a drive line with a middle portion wrapped around the rotatable drum. Upper and lower ends of the drive line are attached to upper and lower portions of the frame. Movement of the float upward or downward relative to the frame causes the rotatable drum to be rotated due to its engagement with the drive line. A power transfer apparatus transmits the rotary motion of the drum to a generator.
