Patent ID: 8915077

Claim:
A wave power plant, comprising: at least one floating power plant body having a forward end, intended to face the propagation direction of the waves, a rearward end and a middle section therebetween, a weight, which is eccentrically suspended from the floating power plant body and which lies below a waterline of the floating power slant body at a distance from the waterline so as to oppose up and down movement of the body, a system for converting movement of the floating power plant body into a rotary motion for power takeoff comprising a rotator, which is bearing-mounted for rotation around an upright gyration shaft and which as its center of gravity at a distance from the gyration shaft, and a computer-controlled system configured to optimize output energy by having the rotator follow behind an inclination of the gyration shaft, wherein the floating power plant body is adapted to perform a gyrating motion in waves with the cooperation of a swinging motion generated by the buoyant force of waves, the gyrating motion is a combination of swinging motions in lateral and longitudinal directions of the power plant body caused by the swinging motion generated by the buoyant force of waves, and the floating power plant body is provided with further comprises one or more transverse flanges, which is or are mounted on outside the floating power plant body in a crosswise position relative to a propagation direction of waves, said transverse flange or -flanges is or are located at a distance from the ration shaft downstream of the gyration shaft in the propagation direction (A) of waves.
