Patent ID: 8525365

Claim:
Device for generating electricity ( 1 ) from wave energy, comprising: an oscillating device ( 2 ), able to transform the thrust of a wave on a first extremity of the oscillating device ( 2 ) into kinetic energy; a motor unit, operatively connected to a second extremity of the oscillating device so as to receive the kinetic energy transmitted to it by the oscillating device ( 2 ); an electrical rotating machine operatively connected to the motor unit and able to produce electric energy when made to rotate by said motor unit, wherein said oscillating device comprises a first thrust lever ( 4 ; 4 ″) with an essentially vertical extension and having a lower extremity ( 8 ) of a concave shape able to receive a thrust from the sea waves acting essentially in a horizontal direction, and a second thrust lever ( 4 ′) with an essentially horizontal extension and carrying a float ( 108 ; 108 ′) at one extremity, wherein said first thrust lever ( 4 ″) is hinged to the second thrust lever ( 4 ″) so as to freely oscillate and is positioned close and behind the float with respect the wave direction such that, when the float reaches the crest of the wave, the lower extremity of the first thrust lever ( 4 ′) is raised above the surface of the water.
