An improved ocean wave energy extraction system is disclosed. The system includes at least one duct for receiving an oscillating water column. The duct has a first segment, a second segment arranged transversely to the first segment and a flow control segment intermediate the first and second segments. The flow control segment is configured to inhibit turbulent flow of the oscillating water column flowing within the duct. A turbine is in fluid communication with the second segment of the duct such that the turbine is driven by the fluid flow which is generated by the oscillations of the oscillating water column within the duct. The turbine rotates an electric generator to thereby generate electrical energy.

An improvement for a wave energy converter comprises a substantially rigid skirt (10) adapted to be suspended from a wave energy converter below the surface of the water. The skirt (10) comprises an elongate substantially cylindrical structure (12) extending vertically so as to form a flow path for water particles over a surface of the structure. The cylindrical structure (12) comprises a series of rings (14) of substantially equal diameter arranged concentrically at spaced vertical intervals. The curved surfaces formed by the circular cross-section of the rings (14), form an undulating flow path for water particles travelling in a vertical direction. In this way the vertical component of the wave energy extracted from the wave's circular water particle motion can be maximised.

The present invention relates to a generator for generating power from a wave. The generator includes a body defining a plurality of chambers for receiving the wave, and a first set of non-return valves through which air from respective chambers can pass. A first vessel receives air from the first set of non-return valves and, in turn, a turbine receives air from the first vessel to generate power. A second vessel receives air from the turbine. The generator also includes a second set of non-return valves through which air can pass from the second vessel and into respective chambers, thus completing the fluid circuit.

A hydrodynamic energy generating assembly is provided comprising at least two hydrodynamic energy-generating devices. Each device comprises a reservoir bounded by a wall with a channel through the wall connecting the reservoir to the exterior environment. The channel is provide with a valve system which can be controlled to allow the flow of water through the channel into and out of the reservoir. A turbine rotor is disposed in the channel and coupled to a generator for producing electrical energy in response to rotation of the turbine rotor by the water. The turbine rotor is rotatably disposed about a substantially vertical axis.

The inventive low-fall modular hydraulic machine (10) is usable for producing hydraulic power or for directly using mechanical power and comprises an adjusting element (50) for setting a stable operating mode with constant speed and power irrespective of the instantaneous power required by a user. The excess power can be used for charging batteries, pumping water, generating heat or cold or simply dissipated in resistances (51). Said machine (10) is adaptable to different waterfall heights by substituting a hydraulic wheel (4) by a different pitch wheel or by manually adjusting the blades thereof. The entire micro-station consisting of a sealed chamber (20) which comprises said hydraulic machine can be located near a dam-free waterfall.

The invention herein proposed describes a plant operated by the movement of floaters (A) connected to horizontal arms (B). These arms (B) move hydraulic pumps (C), which inject water into the hyperbaric chamber (E). This chamber (E) supplies water through an outflow control valve, to set in motion a conventional turbine (G) that connected to electric generator supplies electricity.
