FLOATING WAVE ENERGY GENERATOR Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC F03B13/18 

FIELD: electricity.

SUBSTANCE: floating wave energy generator is intended for conversion of wave energy to electric energy. Wave energy generator comprises frame 1, rod 3 having cylindrical and helical parts, ellipsoidal float 4, guide 14, body 5 fixed to the frame with rotor 6 placed inside that converts reciprocating movement of rod 3 to rotating movement of rotor 6 and flange 7, whereat magnets 8 are fixed so that they are rotated with rotor 6, interlock 15 that locks position of rotating disc 16, through which float is rotating around the vertical axis. Float 4 is fixed rigidly at rod 3. Guide 14 excludes spontaneous rotation of rod 3 around vertical axis.

EFFECT: effective generation of electric energy is ensured due to float rotation around its vertical axis and in result change in projected length of ellipse major axis from zero up to maximum value equal to half of wave length in cross-section perpendicular to direction of the wave movement.
