This invention describes a Wave Energy Converter (WEC), which is the mechanical equivalent to a fully balanced 3-phase electrical generator, aimed to produce continuous power. By virtue of its 3-phase mechanic architecture, the WEC reacts force against himself and doesn't need any mooring system to react force against. The WEC is characterised by three equal legs (12,13,14), which are the three individual mechanical phases, all of them connected to a central articulation (1). The angle between each mechanical phase/leg (12,13,14) centre of mass (2,3,4) is exactly 120° degrees. Each leg/phase (12,13,14) must have the same inertia moment and is characterised by an equal large rigid mass (22,23,24) connected to each leg/phase (12,13,14). Only one of the three masses (22,23,24) interferes with Ocean waves, being the other two deeply submerged. Each leg/phase is connected by one of three equal springs (5,6,7) and one of three equal power-take-off dampers (8,9,10).
