<p>A power generation system suitable for converting wind and wave energy into movement of a drive train comprises a hull adapted for being anchored, drive means supported on the hull and adapted to drive a wave energy capture assembly supported on the hull, the wave energy capture assembly comprising a plurality of floats mounted radially about a shaft for rotation with the shaft, and a drive train operatively connected to the shaft. The wave energy capture assembly is disposed with respect to the hull such that when the system is in the water the floats rotate with the shaft and dip into the water, wherein the floats are driven forward by the action of the waves and accelerated to wave speed. The drive means may comprise a wind energy capture assembly such as a turbine or wind vane. The anchored hull suitably comprises a pair of spaced apart hulls, and the wind and wave energy capture assemblies and the drive train are suitably mounted between the hulls.</p> |
