DEVICE FOR ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION DUE TO WATER SURFACE SLOSHING

摘要

FIELD: power industry. ^ SUBSTANCE: device for electric power generation due to water surface sloshing contains mechanical wave energy converter 3 connected kinematically with electric generator 6 in floated hull 2. Device is equipped with potential energy storage unit 4, self-oscillating unit 5 with escapement and gear systems. Mechanical wave energy converter 3 is connected through one gear system to potential energy storage unit 4 limited by drive gears and spinning spring fixed on it; through another gear system it is connected to self-oscillating unit 5 with escapement that transfers rotational torque to drive gear on shaft of electric generator 6. ^ EFFECT: design allowing conversion of wave and tide energy into electric power by reasonable method and provision of its uniform production. ^ 7 dwg
