Abstract:
A wave action power plant for generating electric energy comprising a plastic spherical float (1) filled with ballast (11), a vertical metal beam (2) having metal ends (12) being fitted with plastic ends (13) at the bottom of said float, said metal beam and said float moving vertically as one body and said body being protected inside a metal cage (21) or in a recess of a pier (24), said vertical beam being attached with knuckle joints to the two ends towards the sea side of a biparallel lever (3) which said fulcrum (4) is based on at the pier, at the other two ends of said biparallel lever in the other side towards the shore being attached with knuckle joints to a saw (5), the turned points of said saw are attached with stretchers including two chains (6) in vertical, aligned and stretched position, in order to transfer the vertical movements of said float and vertical beam, said chains rotating a pair of gears (7) each located on the diametrically opposite side (20), said gears move dynamically towards one rotational direction and freely towards the other rotational direction for converting the vertical motion of the sea waves to rotational motion on a shaft (8), said shaft activating a generator, said biparallel lever (3) keeping the float and metal beam in vertical diraction at one side of the lever and the saw with the chains are also in vertical direction at the other side of the lever, shields (18) protecting said chains for preventing said chains from unmeshing with the gears (7).
