Title:
DEVICE FOR GENERATING ELECTRICITY FROM OCEAN WAVES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/082497
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A device for converting kinetic energy of water waves to electrical power includes a turbine structure having multiple blades evenly attached to a first shaft, a first pulley wheel attached to the first shaft, a second pulley wheel attached to a second shaft disposed in parallel with the first shaft, an electricity generator is attached to the second shaft, and a platform is configured to support the turbine structure, the platform having an upper deck and a lower deck coupled to each other via a hinge. The upper deck is tilted from the lower deck via the hinge such that the first shaft is positioned with an inclining angle with respect to the water surface. The inclining angle is configured such that a distance and time for each fin to travel under the water surface between the entry point and exiting point are maximized while being near the water surface.
