发明名称 Ocean power converter
摘要 A rotating motion energy converter comprises a gyroscopic energy conversion module 20 driven by a rotating shaft 84. The module comprises a circular housing 22 with an internal ring track or groove 21, a moveable frame 30 supported resiliently by a flexible flange 26 and flexible seals 31 revolving about an axis 32, and a spinning rotor 40 supported within the revolving frame to rotate about another axis 42. An electric generator 44 is driven by the spinning rotor. The module is mounted for rotation about the rotating shaft but set at an offset angle causing the device to wobble about the shaft axis. The module also comprises an electric motor 46 for driving the rotor at times when it is not gaining rotational energy from the rotating shaft. The revolving frame is constrained in rotation within the housing of the module by a one-to-one ratio epicyclic gear set 35, 37 and connected to the revolving frame by an extension shaft 34.
