MODULAR SYSTEM FOR CONVERSION OF MECHANICAL WAVE ENERGY INTO ELECTRIC ENERGY.

摘要

This invention refers to a modular system for converting the mechanical energy from waves into electric energy. The system is composed by independent modules of wave capture taking advantage of the principle of Archimedes and the lever function to transform the waveÆs undulatory movement in ascendant and descendent movement by means of the lever-buoy subsystem, converting it in circular movement of an articulated power shaft through of the free wheel-spring subsystem. The power shaft incorporates the motive force of each one of the integrating modules of the system transmitting it to a load device. The load device can be an electric generator, a liquids pump, etc. the object of this invention is to provide an alternative power supply sustainable and of low cost to overcome the disadvantages of previous inventions.
