WAVE ENERGY PLANT Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC F03B13/12 

FIELD: electrical power engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to hydro-power engineering and can be used for converting sea wave energy into electrical energy. The wave energy plant contains a bellows chamber, air pipe, wind blade wheel, mounted on a horizontal shaft and an electric generator. The installation is provided with a buoyancy tank, tied to the bottom by anchor chains, located on both its sides, and a bellows with a rectangular cross section, for example. The bellows chamber is fixed below the buoyancy tank, and a vertical air pipe with a rectangular cross section, divided by a partition wall into two identical channels, is mounted on top of the buoyancy tank. The bellows and the bellows chamber are pneumatically linked to the inner part of the buoyancy tank. In the section of the partition wall on the horizontal shaft, a wind wheel with radial spokes and concave blades at its ends is fitted. The shaft is mechanically linked through a clutch to the electric generator, installed at the outer rear wall of the air pipe.

EFFECT: increased reliability and efficiency of operation.
