发明名称 Wave power plant
摘要 The invention relates to a wave power plant, comprising at least one floating power plant body and means for converting movement of the floating power plant body into a rotary motion for power take off. The floating power plant body (1) is adapted to perform a gyrating motion in response to waves. For generating or enhancing the gyrating motion, the power plant body (1) is provided with one or more of the following elements: a flange-shaped weight (2), which is eccentrically suspended to the floating power plant body (1) and which lies below a waterline (13) of the floating power plant body at a substantial distance from the waterline; one or more transverse flanges (4), which is or are mounted on the floating power plant body in a substantially crosswise position relative to a propagation direction (A) of waves; and a flywheel (11), whose rotating axis lies substantially on a gyraion shaft (5) of the floating power plant body or on a separate vertical shaft and whose gyro force deflects the turning motion of the floating power plant body.

主权项 1. A wave power plant, comprising: at least one floating power plant body having a forward end, intended to face the propagation direction of the waves, a rearward end and a middle section therebetween, a weight, which is eccentrically suspended from the floating power plant body and which lies below a waterline of the floating power slant body at a distance from the waterline so as to oppose up and down movement of the body, a system for converting movement of the floating power plant body into a rotary motion for power takeoff comprising a rotator, which is bearing-mounted for rotation around an upright gyration shaft and which as its center of gravity at a distance from the gyration shaft, and a computer-controlled system configured to optimize output energy by having the rotator follow behind an inclination of the gyration shaft, wherein the floating power plant body is adapted to perform a gyrating motion in waves with the cooperation of a swinging motion generated by the buoyant force of waves, the gyrating motion is a combination of swinging motions in lateral and longitudinal directions of the power plant body caused by the swinging motion generated by the buoyant force of waves, and the floating power plant body is provided with further comprises one or more transverse flanges, which is or are mounted on outside the floating power plant body in a crosswise position relative to a propagation direction of waves, said transverse flange or -flanges is or are located at a distance from the ration shaft downstream of the gyration shaft in the propagation direction (A) of waves.
