    摘要: A rotating wave energy machine includes at least one rotor that revolves in a synchronous manner for utilizing an orbital flow of an undulating body of water that circulates over the rotor. An output power is tapped at a rotor shaft and the power (in the power flow) is converted by at least one lift device of the rotor. A cross-section of the lift device includes at least one curve or angle that is shaped depending on a curve of a total flow. The at least one angle or curve is configured such that the influence of the relative flow on the total flow is taken into account. When the rotating wave energy machine is operational, the relative flow is superposed on the circulating orbital flow that acts on the lift device from outside, and a total flow is produced which is curved about the rotor shaft.

    摘要: A device for generating energy from waves includes one or more pistons placed near the water line of a body of water, one or more floats attached to one end of the one or more pistons whereby the pistons and attached one or more floats move up and down as waves action passes by the piston(s) and attached float(s), a crankshaft attached to the other end of the one or more pistons, and an electric generator in communication with the crankshaft. In these embodiments, the energy from the wave action is transmitted to the electric generator, whereby the electric generator produces electricity when the crankshaft is actuated by the energy transmitted from the float and piston moving from the wave action.

    摘要: Apparatus for converting the energy of ocean waves into electricity, comprises a buoyant body that floats on the surface of water and a submerged body suspended from the buoyant body by flexible cables at a depth where water is still. The submerged body comprises electric generators and horizontally-aligned rotors with a plurality of variable geometry, preferably flexible, buckets attached to a lateral surface of each rotor. The buckets are so shaped to move through water with minimum resistance in one direction and with maximum resistance in the opposite direction. The buoyant body rises with each wave, dragging the submerged body upward through the region of still water until a wave reaches its crest. As a wave falls, the gravity drags the submerged body downward until a wave reaches its trough. This movement causes unidirectional rotation of rotors. This rotation is transmitted to electric generators.

    摘要: A wave-driven power generation device of converting gravity work is illustrated, which has two power generation modules, a pulley module and two transmission mechanism structures. The pulley module has a rail and a counterweight part, wherein the counterweight part moves back and forth along the rail in a first direction or a second direction due to wave fluctuation, and the first direction and the second direction are two opposite directions. The transmission mechanism structure has a driving part and a gear module rotating with the driving part, wherein the driving part moves along the first direction or the second direction accompanying with movement of the counterweight part, the gear module rotates with the shaft of the rotator set, and the shaft of the rotator set is kept to rotate in respect to a rotating direction to continue to generate the electrical energy due to transmission of the gear module.

    摘要: A wave energy absorber is provided for use with a wave energy converter, the absorber having one or more body portions arranged to engage hydrodynamically with a water flow from waves of a body of water, the one or more body portions having a rotational axis about which the one or more body portions are arranged to rotate. The one or more body portions are asymmetrical about the rotational axis. The present invention aims to provide an improved energy capturing member for use with the wave energy converter which allows a pressure difference to be created by the wave energy absorber that is ultimately converted into useful energy, done using a smaller and lighter structure.
