  • Publication number: 20230089008
    Abstract: The device for conversion of wave energy into electrical energy consists of a supporting structure, the first working body, an anchor and anchor cables. The supporting structure is connected to the anchors by anchor cables, while the first working body is slidably connected to the supporting structure. The motion transformation system is firmly connected to the supporting structure and comprises rigid gears toothed with gears with rolls on one side while on the other side they are hinged to the first working body, on the other side of the gears with the rolls, rigid gears are connected at one end, while their other end is hinged to other working body. The gears with rolls are connected by shafts with a multiplier that drives the generator that further produces electricity. The device constructed in this way has the possibility of transport to the place of exploitation, because it floats stably on its own.

  • Patent number: 11591999
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the utilization of wave energy and its conversion into operating motion of an electrical energy generating system. The system for generation of electrical energy through the conversion of aquatic wave motion includes floating bodies and a constant rotation mechanism, which converts the two-way linear motion of an inflexible transmission shaft or a flexible transmission shafts into one-way rotation of an output shaft of the constant rotation mechanism. This mechanism allows utilization of wave energy in two directions caused by the rise and fall of waves. The output shaft of the constant rotation mechanism is coupled to a force multiplier that is further coupled to a generator which generates electrical energy. Constant rotation mechanism can be driven by inflexible transmission shaft pivotally coupled to the floating bodies at one end, and the other end to an input gear of the constant rotation mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20200240388
    Abstract: Device for conversion of wave energy into electrical energy and the process for its deployment at the exploitation location, wherein the device comprises a supporting construction composed of buoyancy elements and having a supporting tube attached on the upper side. The device comprises a joint gear on the inner circumference connected with the outside surface of the supporting tube in a sliding manner and a sphere to which is the floating body pivotally connected. The device has two gears, the first flexible gear for connecting the floating body to the second gear and the second gear for connecting the flexible gear to the generator. The flexible gear consists of pulleys and a flexible element, e.g. a rope or a steel cable and the second gear can be arranged in several suitable forms, e.g. rigid elements as a set of a gear and a rack positioned inside the lower supporting tube or a flexible element, e.g. a chain and a sprocket wheel set in the buoyancy element.

  • Publication number: 20190285044
    Abstract: An ocean wave power plant provided for by respective interconnected functional units comprising a support structure is disclosed. The support structure is terminated in a lower end with a fastening bracket which can be anchored in a single point to a mass when deployed in the sea. A submergible uplift floating body is providing buoyancy for the ocean wave power plant when deployed in the sea. The uplift floating body is attached to the support structure, an electric power generating subsystem (A) supported by a platform is terminating the support structure in an upper end of the support structure. A transmission member is attached in one end to a floating body and in another end to the power generating subsystem (A) transferring wave motion from the floating body to the power generating subsystem (A).
