Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011062506A1] The invention relates to an apparatus for the production of energy, for example, in the form of electricity, comprising one or more hollow devises that are designed to contain one relatively moveable devise(s) in said one or more hollow devises that can move axially back and forth in a fluid inside said one or more hollow devises, with this axial movement contributing to the rotation of an energy-producing devise, such as a pump or generator, by means of power transferring devises, and where said one or more hollow devises are configured so that they can rotate back and forth about a horizontal axis, or continuously around, so that said at least one relatively moveable devise is able to move relatively at any given time in relation to the one or more devises in one or in an opposite axial direction. Said apparatus is placed on a support structure that can be made to pivot up or down or to rotate about a horizontal axis, and such movement is caused by the supply energy, such as running water and/or waves, ocean currents or tidal currents or mechanical energy.
