<p>Device (100) for conversion of mechanical energy from sea waves to electric energy, characterized by: - at least a float (101) and two rigid rods (102), (103), preferably anchored at one end to the seabed (108), and at the other end to the float (101) through flexible cables (106), (107); two respective masses (104), (105) keep the free ends of that rods (102), (103), constantly in traction condition pulled towards the sea bed (108); - at least a power generator (109), or other similar device suitable to convert and/or transmit energy, that is placed close to its respective hinge (110), (111), placed at the bottom parts of the rods (102), (103), so that the oscillatory motion of the float (101), following the waves level (112), causes a force with a vertical component that leads to a rotatory and oscillatory motion of the rods (102), (103), which are pivoted on its respective hinge (110), (111), and generates therefore electric energy by motion of gears of the same generator (109); the horizontal component of the force due to the float (101) oscillations is balanced by a system of counterweights, so that the same float (101) tends to place itself constantly on vertical line A-A'.</p> |
