Abstract: The invention concerns an apparatus for generating power, in particular electric energy, from wave motion in water basins. It comprises at least an operating unit, including gearing provided for unidirectional rotation and to continuously operate at least one power generator in response to the movements of a control element susceptible to alternating linear movements deriving from the wave motion. Each operating unit comprises at least a main or driving shaft (11, 12; 11b) solidly carrying a driving wheel (13, 14; 13b) engaged and placed in rotation by said linear control element (15, 15b) and at least two driven shafts (21, 22; 21b, 22b) operated by the main shaft through a unidirectional drive mechanism (20, 20b) and each connectable to at least a power generator.

Abstract: In order to reduce the overall dimensions and the weight of a motion transmission system including piston, a tie-rod and a crankshaft, the crankshaft and a single tie-rod are arranged inside two mutually opposite pistons which constitute one single monolithic element reciprocating inside two mutually opposite cylinder. The machine can operate as an endothermic motor with atmospheric feed, as a self-supercharged endothermic motor, as a hydraulic motor, or as a self-driven compressor, or as a compressor which can be driven by an externally applied motor.

Abstract: In order to obviate the drawbacks of fluid-dynamic character which affect the traditional carburators equipped with control valves of throttle or of guillotine type, the carburation device provides for the feed duct to be a tubular portion made of an elastic material constrained at its ends and that at least one pair of relatively movable blades act on the elastic feed duct on its outer surface, squeezing it in a perpendicular direction relatively to its axis. The surface area of the cross-section of the inner bore of the duct varies taking (relatively to the fuel stream flowing through it) a gradually convergent-divergent shape, i.e., without sharp changes in the inner bore cross-section surface area, and the fuel stream therefore has a fluid-dynamically optimal motion which is independent from the actual revolution speed of the engine.
