FLOAT WAVE POWER STATION Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: power engineering. SUBSTANCE: energy converter made up as a linear electric generator is mounted inside the vertical tight cylindrical housing. Windings of the armature are arranged along the housing. The inductor is constructed as an inertial mass with permanent magnets mounted for permitting vertical reciprocation by using flexible members. The top part of the housing is bounded by a semi-sphere whose radius is equal to the radius of the cylindrical part. The bottom part of the housing is bounded with a sphere of radius grater than the latter. The windings of the armature are secured to the inner side of the housing. The magnets are combined into the ring sections and mounted inside the armature windings. The dynamical inertial accumulator of energy with double- operated electromechanical drive is mounted at the bottom spherical part of the housing. The natural frequency of the inductor vibration is of the same order of the frequency of vibration in the water. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency. 6 cl, 3 dwg
