Ocean current generation device

Abstract

To solve the problem that for example, when the Kuroshio Current begin to meander, conventional arts simply have to wait a long time until the phenomenon settles down naturally.SOLUTION: An ocean current generation device generates a strong ocean current locally and gradually widens intervals between the ocean currents to create a long ocean current. Even if a screw of the ocean current generation device is stopped at the time when the ocean current is stabilized, the new current continues. When there is a sign that the new current becomes unstable, the screw is driven to stabilize the ocean current.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention is a device that changes ocean currents on a large scale. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0002] This invention was conceived to solve the problem of ocean currents meandering, which is causing climate change and significant changes and impacts on fishery resources, affecting not only the economy but also human lives. [Means for solving the problem]

[0003] This invention involves installing a screw inside a huge pipe to create a powerful current that can change ocean currents and guide them in the desired direction and location. [Effects of the Invention]

[0004] For example, in the waters near Japan, this invention can significantly correct the large meandering of the Kuroshio Current caused by cold water masses, as well as the large northward movement of the Kuroshio Current. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0005] [Figure 1] This is a diagram showing the entire invention. The screw 8 and the motor 7 that drives it are shown through the pipe, and the diagram of the generator placed inside the floating body 1 and the electric wire connecting the motor 7 has been omitted. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0006] A number of these devices are lined up in series from the starting point of the target ocean current toward its end point, and by rotating each screw 8, a strong current is induced near the intake and discharge ports of the pipe 6, gradually widening the intervals between the multiple devices, and guiding the new ocean current to the target end point.

Claims

[Claim 1] The ocean current generating device is composed of a buoyant body 1, a water current generating screw 8 and a drive motor 7 built into a pipe 6 suspended by a rope 5 and its winder for maintaining the water depth of the pipe 6, a pipe 6 for maintaining the water current shape, and a rope 9 and its winder 4 for holding the entire system in place on the seabed 10.
