WAVE ENERGY PLANT Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC F03B13/16 

FIELD: power generation.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to hydropower and is intended for converting wave energy into electric power. The wave energy plant comprises a frame 1, a cover 7, a buoy 3, a rod 2 attached to the buoy, the said rod having a cylindrical and a helical part, a latching device 13 which prevents rotation of the rod around the vertical axis, a housing 9 mounted on the frame 1, the said housing having inside it a rotor 10, which converts back-and-forth motion of the rod into the rotary motion of the rotor and a flange 11 having rollers 12. The rollers 12 are constantly in contact with the bottom part of a platform 4, kinematically linked to the buoy 3. The platform 4 is a hollow cylinder having shaped elements in it, which form a periodic profile of a variable curvature. Flat magnets 5 which are merged into straight sections are attached to the top part of the platform 4, the said magnets being aligned parallel to each other to allow vertical back-and-forth motion relative to guides 19 and a frame 6, around which there is a winding 8 and mounted on posts 18, mounted on the top part of the frame 1.

EFFECT: invention is aimed at providing the efficient generation of electric power, reduce the cost of the generated power and prolong service life.
