FLOAT WAVE POWER PLANT OF FLOATING NATURAL GAS LIQUEFACTION PLANT (LNG) Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC F03B13/18 

FIELD: energy.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to marine power engineering and is intended for producing electric energy from sea waves. Float wave power plant floating natural gas liquefaction plant comprises vertical cylindrical housing accommodating mechanical sea wave energy converter including a screw pair, spring, sinker, gear freewheel clutch, adapter, the shunt gear, a multiplier, electric generator. Additionally there is module-pontoon 2, which is made in the form of cylindrical waterproof cover. Inside the shell there are at least four mechanical sea wave energy converter, each of which includes a gear pair. Ball screw pair is made in the form of screw arranged in vertical plane and interacting with nut installed in a fixed base. Sinker is made in the form of a sphere and is attached to the upper end of the screw, where between a sinker and base coaxially to the spring. On the surface of the nut drive wheel gear pair is secured coaxially.

EFFECT: higher sensitivity of mechanical energy converter of sea waves at their low amplitudes, increased percentage of sea wave energy conversion into electric energy.
