Abstract:
A wave energy converter deep sea mounting system consists of a floatable platform, an enclosure, a wave energy converter mechanism, a generator, a float arm, and a float. The enclosure is mounted atop the floatable platform by an enclosure support axle, about which the enclosure can rotate. The wave energy converter mechanism and the electrical generator are mounted within the enclosure. The float arm is connected between the enclosure and a stationary float, and as the floatable platform rises and falls due to wave action, the enclosure is thus rotated. The wave energy converter mechanism has a stationary input pulley connected through at least one pulley system to a generator output pulley, multiplying input rotations from the float arm action to the electrical generator in order to generate electricity. As the enclosure rotates about the stationary input pulley, the remaining pulleys are forced to spin through rotation about the stationary input pulley.
