Abstract
A non-conventional electric power source including a reciprocating hydraulically powered ram coupled to an electric generator. A pair of matched nozzles coupling a hydraulic fluid supply to the ram. Reciprocation of the ram is effected by a flapper disposed between the nozzles which alternatingly cuts off hydraulic fluid flow through the nozzles responsive to the ram approaching its travel limit.
