<p>This device exhibits a lower floating platform (1) and a main deck (39) which are connected to one another by carriers (2) and (3), a vaned wheel (5) being located in the centre of the device between the lower platform (1) and the main deck (39), this wheel having a vertical shaft (4) by means of which the energy of movement of the vaned wheel (5) is transferred to a device for converting energy of movement into electrical energy, which device is located on the main deck (39). The carriers (2) exhibit side walls with different curvatures. They subdivide the device into several sectors and concentrate the movement of the water in the direction of the vaned wheel (5). At the inlet to the space in which the vaned wheel (5) is located, gates (7) are provided by means of which the entry and exit of the water is controlled. Along the edges of abutment of the main and intermediate carriers (2) and (3) with the lower floating platform (1) and the main deck (39), and on the underside around the floating platform (1), around the latter and radially aligned underneath the edges of abutment of the carriers (2), (3) with the platform (1), special reinforcements are provided. The device is anchored to concrete pillars which are let into the rocky sea bottom, see Figure 1. <IMAGE></p> |
