WAVE ELECTRIC POWER STATION Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: electrical engineering. SUBSTANCE: wave electric power station is meant for generation of electric power for continental and floating users. When housing 1 is on crest of wave water flows through ring water intake neck 2 into internal tubular conduit 4 and is directed along branch 6 of current straightener into hydraulic turbine 12. From there it goes into external downward tubular conduit 5. When housing 1 appears in trough of wave water moves upwards over conduit 5, branch 7 arrives at hydraulic turbine 12 and is discharged through neck 2 into water area. Rotation of hydraulic turbine 12 and generation of electric power by generator 3 are provided for upper and lower positions of housing 1. EFFECT: provision for transformation of wave energy into electric power for the course of its full period. 3 cl, 3 dwg
