The invention relates to a module for converting wave energy, consisting of a floating enclosure comprising a hull (1) which communicates its pitching movement to an eccentric mass capable of rotating without backlash about a central axis (3), and characterized in that: - the pitching is encouraged by the particular profile of the hull (1) and by dynamically adjustable mobile ballast, - the eccentric mass takes the form of an autonomous carriage (5) describing an orbit along a set of circular rails (6) by means of sets of rollers which limit friction and spread load, - an electric generator (8), mounted on the carriage (5), meshes with a set of racks (9) of which the pitch, potentially variable, facilitates the electrical conversion, - a generator control system (8) governs the movement of the carriage (5) so as to optimize the extraction of energy. |
