The Buoyant Synchrony Actuated Inductance AC Generator is a Wave Energy Converter using marine energy from Wave Power and converting it to Electricity. The Wave Energy Converter includes numerous sub-generators operating independently within its self. The Wave Energy Converter utilizes at least two balls which undergo rotational, radial, and angular motion so as to increase a frequency of movement of a plurality of magnets as they move in the vertical direction along with a wave. Solenoids are positioned in the Wave Energy Converter so as to capture the movement of the magnets and convert the movement into an electrical current.

A power generation mechanism includes a first movable member, a second movable member, a twisted coil spring, a power generator, and a housing. The first and second movable members are gears. First and second wound parts of the spring are wound around a first center shaft in opposite directions. Initial elastic energies ie1 and ie2 are respectively applied to the first and second wound parts, absolute values of ie2 and ie1 being equal. The second movable member is turnable by a force from outside the mechanism, engaging teeth of the first and second movable members together to turn the first movable member. With ie12 accumulating on the first wound part and with the teeth disengaged from each other, the first center shaft is turned in an opposite direction by ie12 to generate power in the power generator. Also, the first center shaft is turned by ie1 and ie2.

The invention relates to a blowout preventer stack having at least one blowout preventer, at least one kinetic energy storage device, at least one hydraulic pump, and at least one hydraulic actuator which is disposed outside the kinetic energy storage device and is connected to the hydraulic pump via a hydraulic line and is mechanically connected to the blowout preventer, wherein the kinetic energy storage device is coupled, or couplable, to the hydraulic pump and the hydraulic pump may be driven by the kinetic energy stored in the kinetic energy storage device in such a manner that in case of need the hydraulic pump will pump hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic actuator and thus actuate the blowout preventer.

Methods and apparatus for regulating the function of a suspension system are disclosed herein. Suspension characteristics often contribute to the efficiency of a suspended system. Depending on the desired operating parameters of the suspended system, it may be desirable to alter the functional characteristics of the suspension from time to time in order to maintain or increase efficiency. The suspension hereof may be selectively locked into a substantially rigid configuration, and the damping fluid may be phase separated and/or cooled to increase damping rate during use (or offset rate degradation). The suspension hereof may generate power usable to achieve any or all of the foregoing or to be stored for use elsewhere in the suspended system or beyond.
