Patent ID: 6935832

Claim:
A power generating device motivated by a moving fluid, comprising: a rigid frame having a first end and a second end; an anchoring yoke operatively mounted on said first end of said rigid frame; at least one axle rotatably connected with said rigid frame at said second end; at least one buoyant cylinder operatively connected to said at least one axle; a plurality of vanes operatively mounted on said at least one buoyant cylinder; a power conversion unit operatively connected to said rigid frame; a wave generating device having a member and at least one strut, wherein said at least one strut operatively connects said member to said rigid frame; and wherein said at least one buoyant cylinder is operatively connected with said power conversion unit, such that said rigid frame is held substantially stationary within the moving fluid by said anchoring yoke, the moving fluid contacts said plurality of vanes which causes said at least one buoyant cylinder to rotate about said at least one axle, said at least one rotating buoyant cylinder moves said power conversion unit.
