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

FIELD: mechanical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to field of renewable energy sources, particularly wave power and transformation of it into other kinds, principally, into electric. Wave energy plant contains interacting to each other the first and the second horizontal shafts, installed on vertical struts with ability of free rotation, pontoons, installed in pairs symmetrically relative to vertical struts, fixed in pairs levers, pivotally connected to corresponding pontoons, the first and the second gear, immovable installed at the first and the second shafts and are interlocked to each other, step-up gear and generator. On each shaft it is installed N-amount of pairs of overrunning clutches, naves of which are immovable installed on corresponding shafts, and iron rings by flat hinges are connected to top ends of levers, bottom ends of which, as well by flat hinges, are connected to corresponding pontoons. Distance between joints of two parallel levers is equal to distance between two horizontal shafts. When iron ring of top coupling of each pair interlocks to nave of iron ring, iron ring of bottom coupling disengages and inversely.

EFFECT: increasing of coefficient of efficiency and design simplification of installation.
