Wave-driven power-harnessing plant having a flood-controlled water accumulator set up for operating a buoyancy power-harnessing plant

摘要

Float beams which are mounted movably opposite one another on the equipment of the wave-driven power-harnessing plant are moved by the waves and output the power harnessed during the up and down motion to a common axle. A water accumulator located in the water maintains in the equipment the highest water level determined in each case by the flooding from outside. The water level is reduced in the equipment only when water in the equipment itself - driven by a water pump - flows out to the outside. This takes place when there is temporarily a lower water level on the outside, e.g. due to the waves. The wave-driven power-harnessing plant and flood-controlled water accumulator are suitable, when combined to form a unit, for permitting the economically favourable operation of a buoyancy power-harnessing plant - Patent Application No. P 3441408.8-15 - by making use of the conditions at ebb and flood tides as well as the conditions of the waves, provided that specific wave heights are not fallen below.
