Zusammenfassung: | The invention concerns a mechanical system for generating electrical energy by using the energy produced by wave movement (wave power), based on the vertical displacement of a counterweight. The system is disposed inside a housing which acts in the manner of a floating buoy and is moved by the action of the surge. The counterweight is connected to an anchored dead weight by a steel cable, which is wound in a parbuckle. The upward movement of the counterweight is brought about when the buoy rises owing to the effect of the surge. The potential energy obtained by the counterweight as it rises is used during its downward movement to generate preferably electrical energy.
Sistema mecánico para la generación de energía eléctrica, mediante el aprovechamiento de la energía procedente del movimiento de las olas (energía undimotriz), basado en el desplazamiento vertical de un contrapeso. El sistema se ubica en el interior de una carcasa, que actúa a modo de boya flotante, y es movida por la acción del oleaje. El contrapeso está unido por un cable de acero, enrollado en una tira-vira, a un peso muerto fondeado. El movimiento ascendente del contrapesase obtiene cuando la boya se eleva por efecto del oleaje. La energía potencial adquirida por el contrapeso al ascender se aprovecha durante su movimiento de descenso para generar preferentemente energía eléctrica. |
