Patent ID: 8319359

Claim:
A device for a wave-powered generator comprising: a main module provided with at least one generator which via a transmission means and a primary driving line is connected to a first float arranged to float on a water surface; and a second float, arranged to float on the water surface and connected to the primary driving line via a secondary driving line and positioned at a distance from the first float, wherein the transmission means comprises: a first drive shaft provided with a first freewheel and a first sheave; a second drive shaft provided with a second freewheel and a second sheave; a running rod connected to the primary driving line and in engagement with each of the first sheave and the second sheave, wherein the primary driving line is attached to ballast arranged to maintain tension in the primary driving line over the first sheave and the second sheave when the main module is floating above a sea floor and further arranged to rotate the transmission means when the first float is moving downward, wherein the running rod has a cogged portion engaged with each of the first sheave and the second sheave, wherein the main module is provided with buoyancy elements and anchoring means fixed to a seabed, and further comprising: a device for controlling a distance between the first float and the second float, comprising a positioning guide for the secondary driving line; means for registering the speed and the direction of a movement of the primary driving line; means for calculating a desired distance between the first float and the second float; and a device arranged to control a distance between the positioning guide and the primary driving line.
