Abstract:
1. A floating mechanical structure for the direct generation of electricity by the swinging of a magnetic pendulum caused by sea wave motion, constituted of: a cylindrical floating body connected to a series of electromagnets, where the cylindrical floating body is subdivided in superimposed sectors mounting eventual devices and means needed for generating, delivering and storing the electrical energy produced, and hermetically sealed so as to behave in a manner similar to that of a floating body, and a trestle-like pyramidal structure, from whose top a disc-type pendulum is suspended by appropriate means and fitted with a multiple number of permanent magnets, so as to generate electrical energy through the electromotive forces generated by the reciprocal swings, as a result of wave action, of the electromagnets firmly attached to the plate of the cylindrical floating body with respect to the permanent magnets firmly attached to the disc-type pendulum, characterized by the fact that the cylindrical floating body is covered at its top by a non-magnetic circular plate; the cylindrical floating body is connected to a series of electromagnets constituted of multiple coil and multiple magnet units formed by permanent magnets with a high coercive force; the cylindrical floating body is provided of a bulb-like structure acting as ballast to lower the center of gravity set below the pushing center; devices anchor the structure to the sea floor by suitable means such as high traction strength chains or cables, so as to make it impossible for the floating body to shift with respect to the anchoring point; means are comprised for transporting the electrical energy generated by the plant; and elastic means are comprised to limit the swings of the pendulum.
