Floating assembly for generating energy from sea currents

摘要

An assembly for generating energy from sea currents comprises a main floating body to be oriented across the direction of the sea current, a rotor assembly depending from the main floating body, at least one stabilising member extending substantially sideways from the main floating body and mooring lines for anchoring the assembly. Each stabilizing member is attached to the main floating body at a position substantially corresponding with the position of attachment of a mooring line. Further an assembly for generating energy from sea currents comprises a main floating body to be oriented in parallel to the direction of the sea current, at least two outriggers extending substantially sideways in opposite directions from the main floating body, a rotor assembly depending from the outrigger means and mooring lines for anchoring the assembly. The mooring lines are attached to the main floating body at or near the opposite frontal ends thereof.

主权项

1. A floating energy generating assembly, comprising a main floating body comprising a tubular body having a lengthwise axis configured to be oriented across a direction of a sea current, at least one rotor assembly supported by said main floating body and configured to generate energy from sea currents, at least one stabilising member extending substantially sideways from the main floating body, and mooring lines directly coupled to the main floating body to anchor the assembly, wherein each stabilising member is attached to the main floating body at a position substantially corresponding with the position of attachment of a mooring line.
