Floating barrier using marine wave energy for power generator - has kinetic energy of flow converted into pressure for driving axial turbine

摘要

The barrier has three main parts comprising a supply bell, a mixing chamber with an axial flow turbine and a diffuser. The supply bell has a number of depression compartments each with a helical pump along its axis, provided with an injection nozzle with a variable jet intensity and direction. Within the mixing chamber the injected flow mixes with that drawn out by the diffuser, to equalise their movement. The kinetic energy is partially converted into pressure, to drive the turbine blades of the axial flow turbine. The device can be used to generate electrical energy for an offshore oil exploration drilling platform.
