CONVERSION PLANT OF WAVE ENERGY TO ELECTRIC ENERGY Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC F03B13/18 

FIELD: power industry.

SUBSTANCE: conversion plant of wave mechanical energy to electric energy includes the support fixed at the bottom, floating device 9 connected to the support, and conversion device of mechanical energy to electric energy. Floating device includes a float and a guide. Float includes the rim on which a cover with a chamber is fixed, hinged spherical sliding bearing rigidly installed in the centre of rim, and valve 25 for pumping of air to the chamber. One end of the guide of floating device 9 is rigidly attached along the float axis to internal spherical bearing race. Conversion device includes linear electric generator 8 the generating inductor of which is directly connected along the axis to the second end of the guide of floating device 9, and guide axis 10 is rigidly fixed on the other end of generating inductor. Guide of floating device 9 and guide axis 10 of the generating inductor kinematically interacts with sliding bearings 11 and 12 fixed in supports 13 and 14 installed along axis of housing 9 of electric generator 8 on its both end sides.

EFFECT: simplifying the conversion procedure of wave energy to electric energy by creating the easy-to-manufacture, reliable and effective operating plant.
