This invention is related to energy production from wave by using free surface effect and fluid level difference in one or more floating platforms. This is a platform with one or more rooms filled with fluid where they are connected to each other with jointed or inarticulate one or more pipes or another construction. When one of the rooms of the platform is at the top of the wave and the other is at the bottom or when they are in a motion to this situation, the fluid will run from the top to the bottom and the air in the room at the bottom will flow towards to the room at the top by a valve and at this moment the two energy converter mounted on these two internal pipes will be on and produce energy. Air and fluid flow reverse direction when upper room wave descend or in movement towards at this situation. Although air and fluid flow is in reverse direction, turbine or energy converter work in same direction and produce energy. At big wave lengths, when it is not economic to pass between two platforms with construction, the fluid flow will be from upside to bottom side by using flexible pipe or other flow channel between one or more rooms by the level difference effect, and energy will be produced with the energy converter located on a flexible pipe or in a platform. During flow, air enters into the room located on the upper wave by a valve while air gets out from the valve mounted on top of the room at the lower wave. |
