Abstract:
Wave-power plant where the waves are guiding water into a basin, and where power is produced when water flows back into the sea through a turbine. The basin exhibits a bottom ( 4 ) positioned at least several typical wave heights down into the water, a rear wall ( 3 ), two side walls ( 2 ), a front wall ( 1 ) fronting the waves, and for larger plants, at least one partition wall ( 5 ) dividing the basins into several smaller basins. The front wall ( 1 ) and one or more division walls ( 5 ) are covered by apertures provided with check-valves ( 6 ) to allow through flow toward rear basin ( 14 ) providing water to at least one turbine ( 8 ). The basin can rest with its bottom ( 4 ) directly upon the seabed ( 13 ), and in deeper waters, above the seabed with the bottom ( 4 ) of the basin also being covered by apertures exhibiting check valves ( 6 ) for flow into the basin.

Claim (Index 20):
A wave-power plant for generating power from the waves of a body of water having a seabed or floor, the wave power plant comprising: a basin resting directly on the seabed or floor, the basin having a bottom ( 4 ) positioned a distance below the water level of the body of water at a selected depth, a rear wall ( 3 ), two side walls ( 2 ), a front wall ( 1 ) facing the waves of the body of water, and at least one partition wall ( 5 ) dividing the basin into two or more smaller basins, said front wall ( 1 ) and the partition walls ( 5 ) being covered by apertures provided with check-valves ( 6 ) to allow water flow through said walls through the apertures having check valves, the basin having a depth sufficient for the waves to move through the front wall ( 1 ) and the at least one partition wall ( 5 ) and guide water toward a rear basin ( 14 ) to at least one turbine ( 8 ) for producing power as water flows through the at least one turbine, an outlet of the at least one turbine being directed to at least one outlet basin in order to be protected from disturbances from wave crests, the at least one outlet basin having at least one partition wall covered with apertures having check valves to allow water to flow away from the turbine, the at least one outlet basin having an area configured to allow the same amount of water flow that flows through the turbine, the at least one outlet basin having at least one outer wall covered with apertures having check valves for the water to flow out to the body of water.
