PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tidal power generation device generating electricity by energy obtained by compressing air by energy of water flow and water pressure by utilizing phenomena that sea causes tiding phenomenon due to attraction force and water level is regularly changed, by installing a water tank on sea bottom, and disposing upper and lower generators in the water tank so that sea water in the water tank is made to flow in and out by flux and reflux of the tide.SOLUTION: A water tank slightly higher than sea water at high tide is disposed on sea bottom, and sealed once, a ventilation pipe is disposed at an upper portion, a sea water inlet/outlet pipe is disposed at a lower portion, and turbines and generators are disposed in the same to generate power by high tide and low tide.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8 【課題】引力によって、海は潮汐現象を起こし、規則的に水位が変化します。そこで、海底に水槽を設け、水槽の中に上部と下部に発電機を設け、干満によって、水槽の中の海水が流入したり、流出したりし、その現象を利用し、水流のエネルギーと水圧で空気を圧縮させたエネルギーで電気を発生させる潮汐発電装置を提供する。【解決手段】海底に満潮時の海水より多少高い水槽を設置し、いったん密閉し、上部に通気管と下部に海水出入管を設け、その中にタービンと発電機を設け、満ち潮、引き潮により発電させることを特徴とする。【選択図】図８
