<p>An apparatus for recovering the inherent kinetic energy from waves has a plate assembly (1) consisting of a plurality of juxtaposed, spaced-apart circular plates (2) which are mounted at their centres on a horizontal shaft (3) located on the still-water level (4) parallel to the wave front and which are provided at their sides with fins (6) extending from the centre of the plates to the periphery thereof and being so designed that they can be driven by the rotating water particles of the waves in one direction only, being the direction in which the rotating water particles above the still-water level (4) act on the plates (2).</p> |
