<p>The invention relates to a device for converting swell movement into energy, which comprises at least one arm (1) supporting a float and swinging about a horizontal axis (20) when the swell moves, and a reverser mechanism (3) including a main gear (4) for rotating an output shaft and onto which, in two diametrically opposed areas, a pair of conical gears (5, 5') mesh that can be rotatably secured to said arm (1) in two opposite directions, respectively. According to the invention, the device includes at least three arms (1) which each support a float and extend radially along at least three directions (10) distributed about the central vertical axis (30) of the carrier (M), in the shape of a star, wherein said arms (1) are swingably mounted, respectively, about concurrent hinge axes (20) extending through said central axis (30), and the reverser mechanism (3) includes a single main wheel (4) for rotating the output shaft and, for each arm (1), a pair of opposite conical gears (5, 5') each rotatably secured in one direction with said arm (1). The device according to the invention is particularly intended for recovering swell energy for power generation, fluid pumping or gas compression.</p> |
