<p>The present invention relates to a wave power device (10,10', 110) for converting energy of waves in a body of water (22, 122) to electrical energy. The device comprises: a support structure (12, 112); a panel (24, 124), such as a flap or wing, hinged to the support structure, which panel is adapted to be moved by waves passing the device, resulting in a tilting or rotating motion of the panel relative to the support structure; and an electrical generator (30, 30', 130) mechanically coupled to the panel, which electrical generator is adapted to convert the mechanical energy of the tilting or rotating motion of the panel to electrical energy. The present invention also relates to a use of such a wave power device, and a method for converting mechanical energy of a panel in a wave power device to electrical energy.</p> |
