MOVEMENT AND POWER GENERATION APPARATUS

摘要

The invention relates to apparatus which allows the movement of a body of water, such as that created by waves and/or a swell in the sea, to be utilised to generate power. The apparatus includes a first member in the form of a float, which is connected to a second member and at least one rotatable means connected to a power generator. In one embodiment the second member is connected with and supported on the first member while the rotatable member and power generator are provided at a relatively fixed location and coupled to the second member such that relative movement of the second member with respect to the rotatable means is used to cause the generation of power.
