Device for converting the energy of sea water

摘要

A device for converting the energy of sea waves into electrical energy. A tank-like inlet converter receives sea water from the peaks of waves and discharges it to a water-driven turbine. The turbine drives an electrical generator. Spent water from the turbine is delivered to an outlet converter which delivers the spent sea water to the troughs of the waves. The inlet and outlet converters are provided with controllable water inlet and outlet valves, respectively, which control the flow of sea water into and out of the inlet and outlet converters, respectively.
