<p>The invention relates to a linear generator for submerged use. It has a linearly reciprocating translator (6) which is attached to connection means (3, 7) arranged to connect the translator (6) to a floating body (1) on the sea surface. The generator has a sealed housing (4) forming a water-tight chamber, in which the translator (6) is located. The connection means is arrange to pass through a sealed (12) opening in a wall portion (18) of the housing (4). According to the invention, at operation, the wall portion (18) with the sealed (12) opening is located at a level that is below the level of the upper end of the translator (6) at least during a part of the movement of the translator (6). The invention also relates to a use of the generator and to a method of generating electric energy.</p> |
