Wave powered fluid filled electric generating device

A wave power generating device 1 has a liquid filled chamber 2a-d, and is designed to pitch (rock) when exposed to waves. Relative movement of the fluid in the chamber causes movement of air in fore and aft chambers 3a, b, which drives generators 8. Extra buoyancy devices may be provided on each sid...

Zusammenfassung:A wave power generating device 1 has a liquid filled chamber 2a-d, and is designed to pitch (rock) when exposed to waves. Relative movement of the fluid in the chamber causes movement of air in fore and aft chambers 3a, b, which drives generators 8. Extra buoyancy devices may be provided on each side of the device and may contain a mechanical generator using a rack and pinion or linear generator (figures 5, 6).
