Patent ID: 8492917

Claim:
An electrical system for generating electrical energy from wave motion in the body of water said electrical system comprising: a compensable lower tower, rotatable fuselage including a floatable base fastened to said compensable lower tower, rotatable about a vertical axis for facing into the direction of wind and downwardly extending moveable paddle arm including an oval shaped paddle end disposed on said fuselage for moving forward and backward in response to wave motion; said lower tower which raises the fuselage over the water which comprises: stainless steel or rigid plastic upper and lower telescopic tubes; four sets of said tubes are provided in a lower part of the lower tower while a single upwardly extending tubular member forms an upper portion of the lower tower; a controller that includes a clock mechanism and set of tide tables actuates a rack and pinion assembly as the tide changes to raise and lower the fuselage to thereby maintain the fuselage on the surface of the water as the tide changes; two motors rotate one or two pinion gears in the assembly to raise and lower the tower, a pair of limit switches prevents the lower tower from exceeding its upper and lower limits; an upper tower has a warning light indicator, anemometer, and direction indicator; said paddle arm rotates according to the movement and rotation of said oval shaped paddle end; means to compensate for the tide height by raising and lowering said compensable lower tower and said fuselage to maintain said fuselage on the surface of the body of water; a pair of generators and a plurality of gears driven by the forward and reverse movement of said downwardly extending paddle arm; and electrical cable to transfer the electrical energy to a power station or grid.
