A modular, electricity generating apparatus comprises an elongate, central member comprising a first end and a second end; at least one foil disposed about the central member in fluid interacting relation thereto; the solar foil comprising an outer surface having photovoltaic properties; the first end and the second end dimensioned and configured to be connected to a connecting node; and, the elongate central member at least partially formed of an electrically conductive material and configured to conduct electricity from at least one of the connecting nodes to the other of the connecting nodes.

A submergible wave energy converter and method for using the same are described. Such a wave energy converter may be used for deep water operations. In one embodiment, the wave energy converter apparatus comprises an absorber having a body with an upper surface and a bottom surface and at least one power take-off (PTO) unit coupled to the absorber and configured to displace movement of the absorber body relative to a reference, where the power take-off unit is operable to perform motion energy conversion based on displacement of the absorber body relative to the reference in response to wave excitation, and where the power take-off unit is operable to return the absorber body from a displaced position to a predefined equilibrium position and to provide a force acting on the absorber body for energy extraction.

Differential gravity power generator FIG. 1 consisting of a box height H, filled with fluid, subject to gravity. The box is divided into T.sub.1 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8) and T.sub.2 (2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8) by plane (2, 3, 5, 8) with openings A above and B below. The difference of effective head of T.sub.2 over T.sub.1 is ⅓H, resulting in a fluid flow from T.sub.2 to T.sub.1 through B. From the continuity equation an equal quantity of fluid flows from T.sub.1 to T.sub.2 through A, establishing a fluid conserving motion, demonstrated with working models. Applications: electricity generation with water or other fluid like liquid CO.sub.2 and motive purposes like propulsion of ships.
