摘要:
A wave energy converting apparatus (44) and its associated tension mooring system (50) is described. The wave energy converting apparatus (44) comprises an elongate support structure (45) designed to extend above a mean water level in the ocean. The support structure (45) has a submerged member (46) provided in connection therewith below the mean water level. A float member (48) of positive buoyancy is slidably mounted on the support structure (45) so as to be movable in a vertical direction. The apparatus (44) also comprises a linear electric generator (49) having a stator provided in connection with the support structure (45) and a translator integrated into the body of the float member (48). Differential motion of the float member (48) relative to the support structure (45) results in the generation of electrical power by the linear electric generator (49). The tension mooring system (50) comprises a cable (51) extending from a ballast means (52) to a counterbalancing means (53) adapted to be suspended from the submerged member (46) via a pulley mechanism (54). The tension mooring system (50) allows the apparatus (44) to be 'tuned' to the prevailing ocean conditions.
摘要:
A wave energy capturing device (10) comprising a base (12) adapted for fixed connection to a submerged surface (14). At least one elongate buoyant paddle (26) is pivotally mounted to the base (12) about a first pivotal axis (22), for angular oscillation through an angle range when wave motion applies a force to the paddle (26). The paddle (26) has a longitudinal axis (27), an upper end portion and a lower end portion. An energy transfer member is attached to the paddle (26) and is adapted to be driven by the angular oscillation of the paddle (26). A paddle adjustment assembly is associated with the paddle (26) and is adapted to adjust the angle range of the paddle (26) in magnitude and/or angular position relative to the first pivotal axis (22).

The invention relates to an energy generator powered by tidal currents and comprises a turbine (10) in a turbine housing (30) for rotation therein about a substantially vertical axis. The turbine (10) is connected to a supporting column (22) that is pivotally supported (24) in the lower portion of the turbine housing and, with the aid of a plurality of rotating elements (36), is in engagement with an upper portion of the interior wall of the turbine housing. The turbine can thus be selectively rotated in said turbine housing with aid of the rotating elements (36).
摘要:
An underwater power generation system (10) that has a line member (30) that moves along a defined pathway. A number of foils (40) drive the line member using the flow of a water current. The defined pathway lies in a plane that is substantially perpendicular to the flow of water current. A power take-off (114, 124) is connected to the line to produce power.

The invention discloses a draining wall consisting of a plurality of elementary panels (P) filled with a filtering material (10), characterised in that the said panels are separated from one another by intermediate elements (J) and in that an element (2) connecting each pair of adjacent panels is embedded in the lower part of each intermediate element. The invention also discloses a method and an element for its implementation. The invention is particularly useful for landslide areas.
摘要:
A method of preventing aquatic organisms from adhering to the surface of an underwater structure (12) or of water intake facility, in which: a part of said surface to which aquatic organisms adhere is coated with a plurality of metallic members (13) constituted of iron, magnesium, aluminum, or alloy of these substances and insulated from each other through insulating members and cushion materials (20); a pair of opposing metallic members (13) are adapted to act as electrodes for composing an electric circuit and are connected to a DC power source (18) having a function to reverse polarity so that power may be supplied between both electrodes continuously or intermittently; and polarities of charged electrodes are reversed in such manner that, when a metallic member (13) on one hand is electrically positive, the metal composing said member (13) is dissolved on the surface and activated, whereby adhesion of aquatic organisms to the surface of said metallic member can be suppressed or prevented.
