Abstract:
An adaptive wave motion electrical power generator system for maximizing and controlling the amount of electrical power delivered to a load, comprising:an alternator floating freely at a water's surface, said alternator having magnet and wire coil structures that undergo relative movement therebetween in response to wave motion at or near the water's surface, wherein electric current flows through said wire coil structure as a result of said relative movement; measuring means coupled to said alternator for measuring dynamic parameters describing said relative movement between said magnet and wire coil structures, and for measuring said electric current and voltage across said wire coil structure; and current control means coupled to said alternator and said measuring means for controlling an amount of said electric current flowing in said wire coil structure and delivered to the load based on said dynamic parameters wherein electrical power delivered to the load and said relative movement are controlled.
