WAVE ENERGY CONVERTER (VARIANTS)

摘要

The invention is directed at converting wave energy into electric power. The inventive converter comprises the following kinetically interconnected elements: a fixed post, float chambers, a frame, shaft, multiplying gear and an electric generator. Said converter also comprises interacting with each other a second shaft, first and second gear wheels and at least two motion converters, wherein the first and second gear wheels are fixedly mounted on respective shafts and interact with each other, each motion converter comprises a vertical rod which is mounted in such a way that it is vertically oscillatable and whose top end is provided with a first unit mounted thereon and the lower end is provided with a third gear wheel interacting with the first and second float chambers. First and second freewheel clutches provided with the gear wheels are mounted on the shafts and interact with the third gear wheel through first and second chains. The inventive structural design of the converter makes it possible to increase the performance coefficient.
