Abstract:
A wave energy converter has blades ( 54, 56, 57, 59 ) on frames ( 51, 52 ) rotating about a pivot joint ( 53 ) on a structure ( 4, 52, 502, 505, 86 ). There is reciprocating rotary motion of the frame with respect to the structure, providing reciprocating rotary input power to a mechanism ( 73, 94, 98 ). The mechanism ( 98 ) may be arranged so that the reciprocating input power is transferred to uni-directional power via pulleys ( 101, 106 ) and sprag clutches ( 102, 107 ).

Claim (Index 61):
The power transfer mechanism as claimed in  claim 60 , wherein the sprag clutches are arranged so that power is transferred from the sprockets or pulleys to the shafts so that the shafts contribute to driving the prime mover, or are idle, irrespective of direction of rotation of the sprockets or pulleys; and wherein a set of a plurality of the sprockets or pulleys are driven by the same chain or belt; and wherein the sprockets or pulleys of the set are rotated by the chain or belt in the same direction; and wherein the shafts are interconnected by gears, which are in turn linked to the output prime mover; and wherein the sprag clutches are arranged so that all of the gears are either driven in the same sense or are idle at any time; and wherein the mechanism further comprises a generator linked with the output, a sensor to detect mutual rotation of the wave energy converter parts, and a generator controller to disable the generator as mechanical input power is near zero in each input power cycle.
