SYSTEM FOR CONVERTING THE ENERGY OF THE SEA WAVES INTO ELECTRICITY AND FOR PROTECTING THE BEACHES FROM STORM SURGES

摘要

System to convert the energy of the waves into electricity placed where the water is relatively shallow characterised in that at the same time it protects the beach from the storm surges and in that it is substantially composed of a Swinging Floodgate, at calm sea slant toward the open sea with the top near the sea surface and with the base raised from the seabed, operatively constrained by means of a Transmission Shaft to the devices, contained within a watertight shell, to convert the alternating rotary motion of the Transmission Shaft due to the waves into electrical energy that is conducted to earth via cable being said Shell operatively constrained to an Anchorage with a Hinge with vertical axis that allows the Swinging Floodgate to be perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
