Sea Piston

What is the largest mass of matter on the surface of the Earth? The Oceans of course. So it just makes quite a bit of sense to harness that powerful source. Well, they all ready have. There are several ways that they harness the sea for hydro-electricity. One way that they acheive this is by making a buoy-like body, with the "bobber" attached to a piston. When the body is secured to the sea floor, the rising and falling waves and sea levels drive the piston, which generates electricity.

Creative Windmills

The styles of windmills are varied, but they all have one overall expectation, to produce energy from the wind by the spinning of the intermost axle. but it is still possible to make a creative design, as long as it spins and produces energy, even if that energy amount is insignifigant. the original windmill had 3-10 blades, and was on a vertical axis. now there are other "species" of windmills, such as vertical windmills, which have many varied styles of energy producing designs.

The other windmill

There are many different kinds of windmills, but the best energy producing, are horizontal and vertical windmills. They are called that because of the way that the centeral axle is located. on a horizontal windmill, the blades are connected to a rotating centerpiece, which is connected to a axle that either leads to the joint, where the generator is, or has a gear on the end and turns an axle that leads down to a bottom generator. Vertical windmills are different in the way that the axle is strait up, and the turbines turn the axle, which makes energy down in the generator, which is the base, or is buried in the ground. Vertical windmills have more designs then horizontal windmills, yet they produce just as much power. The blades of a vertical windmill can vary, but most of them are in a screw shape, as to better catch the wind, from any direction.
