WAVE POWER PLANT Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: power engineering. SUBSTANCE: turbine connected to an electrical generator is located in a working fluid tank movably mounted on interconnected side floats. Two side pontoons are connected to the floats by links. The side floats are interconnected by a bearing frame stationary connected to the floats. The tank is mounted on the frame for rotation in the vertical plane and is connected to ratchet-and-pawl mechanisms by a gear system, the mechanisms are mounted on one of the links on the float. Additional tanks are circumferentially equidistant relative to each other. EFFECT: improved structure. 2 cl, 3 dwg
