Abstract:
1. A wave power plant comprising: a vessel freely floating on a water surface; a technological working machine installed on the vessel, the technological working machine being connected via a transfer box and an overrunning clutch to a reel having a rewinding mechanism that returns the reel to an original position; a cable wound on the reel; an anchor being carried out as water domes with straps by which the anchor connects to a free end of the cable, the anchor being able to float, dive, and be lowered to a depth greater than a wave length; one or more weights attached to the bottom of the water domes, the one or more weights providing for submersion of the water domes when the cable is released; a limiter installed on the cable to prevent shortening of the free end of the cable to a length smaller than a length of a wave; and wherein upon a disturbance of the water surface, the vessel rises over the water surface of the wave coming from an arbitrary direction and starts pulling up the anchor which causes the water domes to unfold, thereby resulting in a resistance force which stretches the cable and forces the cable to unwind from the reel as the cable overcomes a force of the rewinding mechanism with the reel transmitting the rotational motion via the overrunning clutch to the transfer box, which spins a rotor of the technological working machine and starts generating electric energy, which can be processed or accumulated in a battery installed within the vessel of the wave power plant.
