摘要 |
The invention provides an apparatus for converting wave energy into electrical energy comprising a first floating hull (201) interconnected to a second floating hull (202). A winch mechanism for in-use raising a weight suspended on a cable (14). The winch mechanism is operated in response to movement of said first hull (201) relative to second hull (202), and a generator driven by the downward movement of the weight. The invention further provides a method for converting wave energy into electrical energy. <Figure 8> |
