ARRANGEMENT FOR A SURFACE AREA ADJUSTMENT OF A RECIPROCATING WING SYSTEM IN A WAVE ENERGY RECOVERY SYSTEM

摘要

This invention relates to an arrangement for a surface area adjustment of a reciprocating wing system in a wave energy recovery system where the wave energy recovery system comprises at least a body, a set of wings fastened to a support means that is hinged at its lower ends onto the body to make a reciprocating motion in response to kinetic energy of waves or tidal currents, and a power-take-off means. The arrangement comprises at least adjustment means capable to adjust the total effective surface area of the wings.
