FIELD: power engineering. ^ SUBSTANCE: wave-activated power plant comprises an energy converter including a system of gears enclosed into a body fixed on a support above the water surface capable of rotation around the vertical axis, a lever, which is connected with its one end to the gear system via a mechanism of single-sided rotation, and with the second one - to a cylindrical float. The float is equipped with a wave tail unit for alignment along with direction of waves and freely rotates on the lever axis, compensating variances of wave forces at the float ends. A generator is fixed on the support above the water surface and is connected to the energy converter. ^ EFFECT: invention makes it possible to align the float along the direction of waves and to more efficiently convert the energy of sea waves. |
