  • Patent number: 12286955
    Abstract: A wave power system for extracting energy from water waves, The wave power system includes a basic structure comprising at least one straight track section; at least one effector movably engaged with said basic structurer and adapted for being moved by water waves along said straight track section in a travelling length between two stop locations; and an energy harvesting arrangement arranged for harvesting energy from said relative movements between said energy collector and said basic structurer. The effector includes a backbone structure comprising at least one support shaft having a support shaft axis. At least one winglet comprising a compliant portion is rooted to the support shaft and is turnable between operation modes comprising an acceleration mode an intermediate mode and a deceleration mode relative to the support shaft axis.

  • Patent number: 11333124
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a wave power device for extracting energy from water waves. The waver power device comprise a reference structure and effectors moving relative to the reference structure. The effectors are connected to two hydraulic rams, symmetrically positioned around each effector. The hydraulic rams have an effective hydraulic area which is stepwise increased as the length of the hydraulic rams are compressed and stepwise increased as the length of the hydraulic rams are increased.
