Abstract

See full text

A system includes at least two tunnels configured for immersion in a moving mass wherein a part of the moving mass passes through the tunnels. An energy collector is disposed in each of the tunnels. The energy collector has an open state and a collapsed state where the collector in the open state collects energy from the moving mass. An actuator joined to each of the energy collectors transitions the energy collector between the open state and the collapsed state. An actuator activator in each of the at least two tunnels activates the actuators where activation of the actuators results in a reciprocating motion of the energy collectors in the tunnels. A cable system joins the actuators for transferring the reciprocating motion. A pulley system translates the reciprocating motion to a rotational force wherein energy from the moving mass is transferred to the rotational force.
