INTERMITTENT FORCE POWERED ELECTROMAGNETIC CONVERTERS ESPECIALLY FOR SEA WAVES

摘要

Converters for intermittent forces (e.g. ocean waves) energy conversion into electric power and damping excessive forces are disclosed. They employ exemplified electromagnetic transducers comprising multi-magnets (110) inductors and multi-teeth armature (120T, 118), transforming the waves motion into multiplied frequency electric current, base platform means (170), and control means (175) providing regulation of electric power depending on the forces' parameters. The transducers are combinable with means translating the motion into linear (one-, and multi-sectional embodiments), revolving (symmetric and asymmetric rotational embodiments), swinging (underwater and above- water pendulum embodiments) movements. The platform means include floatable, and means containing virtual vessels of variable parameters expandable extensions, allowing adapting to waves motion, increase efficiency of energy conversion and improving stability of the platform. The control means include sensors (136) measuring wave's and converter's parameters; control units adaptively regulating electric power production, and absorbing the excessively powerful waves' energy, depending on their parameters. Some converters include electrolyzer hydrogen production and storage means.
