DEVICE FOR GENERATING ELECTRICAL ENERGY BY HARNESSING THE ENERGY OF WAVES.

摘要

The invention relates to a device for generating electrical energy by harnessing the energy of waves, said device comprising an enveloping housing (1) divided into: a lower air chamber (23) containing a generator (14) and a high tonnage weight (12), suspended from an upper axle (10) mechanically connected to a lower axle (16); an intermediate chamber (24) that comprises water inlets/outlets (22) and is open at the top by means of an air outlet (29); and an upper chamber (25) comprising a compressor (6), a turbine (4) and a generator (5). The compressor (6) is mechanically actuated by an electric motor or by mechanical transmission by means of a chain (7) connecting the upper axle (10) of the lower chamber (23) and the axle of the compressor (6), and generates pressurised air for removing the water from the intermediate chamber (24).
