Patent ID: 7411311

Claim:
A system for producing energy from sea waves, said system comprising a support assembly adapted for resting on a sea floor and having legs ( 6 ), anchorable to the sea floor, said legs supporting an upper frame ( 5 ), said system further comprising at least two paddle units, which are carried by the upper frame, each paddle unit comprising a paddle rod ( 3 ) and a paddle plate ( 4 ), said paddle plate being connectable to a lower extremity of the paddle rod, wherein each paddle rod is secured at the upper frame with possibility for pivoting with respect thereto and said at least two paddle units are deployed on the support assembly in such a manner that their respective paddle plates are arranged in series to be successively driven forward and backward by the sea waves, wherein said upper frame ( 5 ) is fitted with axles ( 14 ) and there are provided respective sleeve housings ( 13 ) mounted with possibility for pivoting about the axles ( 14 ) and wherein an upper extremity of each paddle rod ( 3 ) is rigidly secured at the respective sleeve housing ( 13 ) such that the sleeve housing can be pivotally driven by the paddle rod ( 3 ), said system further comprising a converting means operatively coupled to the sleeve housings ( 13 ) and said converting means is capable to convert pivotal motion of the sleeve housings ( 13 ) into an energy irrespective whether the paddle plates are driven by the sea waves backward or forward.
