<p>A caisson (1) provided with at least one air pocket (5), and at least one vertical duct or conduit (2) extending transversally along the whole portion of the caisson (1) where the respective air pocket (5) is present. The lower portion of the caisson (1) is filled with water (6), and the vertical duct (2) extends upwards, and communicates with the outside without reaching the sea surface. The height of the air pocket (5), starting from the ceiling of the caisson (1) towards its base, being adjusted so as to obtain the resonance condition, in which the period of the detected pressure fluctuations, at the upper opening (3) of the vertical duct (2), is equal to the period of detected pressure fluctuations of the air pocket (5). Inside the vertical duct (2) turbines may be installed in order to obtain energy conversion.</p> |
