<p>The present invention provides a wave energy converter. The wave energy converter of the present invention includes a floating body (100), which is vertically moved by waves, and an actuating unit. The actuating unit includes a combined rotary unit (210), which is coupled to the floating body and the ground and includes a moving rotator (212), or is formed by a combination of a moving rotator and a fixed rotator (214), a linear member (220), which is connected to the combined rotary unit and reciprocates depending on the movement of the floating body, and a tension maintaining member, which keeps the linear member tight. The wave energy converter further includes an energy converting unit, which converts wave energy into other forms of energy. Therefore, in the present invention, the distance that the linear member is moved is increased to several times that of a floating body, thus effectively achieving energy conversion.</p> |
