DEVICE FOR CONVERSION OF SEA SWELL INTO ELECTRIC ENERGY Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: power engineering. SUBSTANCE: installed on a power take-off shaft with the aid of couplings are pulleys and cables reeved around them. The ends of cables are connected to floats and tensioning means. Rocker arms or cantilever levers and cable guide pulleys are articulated on a support. Each float has the form of two cones with their bases joined to each other. The angle of the upper cone is obtuse and that of the lower cone, acute. Floats are fastened to the ends of rocker arms or levers by rigid joints secured on the end of rods. The centers of gravity and size of floats are disposed inside the zone of articulated jointing with the rod. EFFECT: improved design. 10 cl, 9 dwg
