A drive assembly for providing a driving force includes: a first track declined in a first direction through a first declination; a second track, extending in a second direction and arranged to pivot with respect to the first track between a first position in which the track is substantially horizontal and a second position in which the second track is declined in the second direction through a second declination; and a shaft connected to a flywheel and. A first vehicle is arranged to travel along the first track between a first drive location and a first idle location to drive the shaft in a first direction and to cause a second vehicle to travel along the second track between a second idle location and a second drive location; and, the second vehicle is arranged to travel along the second track from the second drive location to the second idle location to cause the shaft to rotate in a second direction and to cause the first vehicle to travel from the first idle location to the first drive location. The shaft is coupled to the first and second vehicles and arranged to rotate in dependence of the travel of the first and second vehicles.

A water wave-type power generating device is mounted on a shore, and includes a hub, a power generating unit, a transmitting track unit surrounding and movable relative to the hub along an endless course to generate a rotational force, a rotation transmitting unit coupled with the transmitting track unit and receiving the rotational force to generate the torque that is transmitted to the power generating unit by a torque transmitting unit, and a plurality of wave heading members disposed on the transmitting track unit and each having a heading surface that is subjected to waves of water in a wave ascending direction so as to actuate the movement of the transmitting track unit.

Renewable energy systems can be deployed on water or with agricultural systems including solar energy panels and wind turbines of various types. Vertically oriented wind turbines may be combined with systems to maintain them vertical, air directors which may also have venturi effect turbines, or not. Wave energy may be captured from roll or pitch energy capture devices or even piston operated anchored systems for various embodiments. Agricultural facilities may combine various technologies to dramatically increase crop yield.
