Near Shore Breaking Wave Converter Mechanism

摘要

A near shore breaking wave energy converter mechanism uses a wave breaker to break wave energy into potential energy, by raising waves above current sea level, and allowing them to fall on a guiding channel placed at a sufficient height, which also prevents the energy of falling water back into sea. The water flowing into this guiding channel is allowed to hit an undershot waterwheel which finally converts the kinetic energy of water into mechanical energy.
