A METHOD OF CONVERTING WAVE ENERGY INTO ELECTRICITY
Abstract
The article discusses an innovative device for converting wave energy of water into electricity. There are two main classes of transducers – active and passive. The first one includes all devices having moving under the action of fluctuations in the water mass elements; the second device guides the movement of the water to concentrate the wave energy. The article considers the device for wave energy conversion referring to the first class, namely, the device using the periodic rise of a wave surface and changing its inclination. After analysis of the existing technical solutions, the author proposed the solution of the problem. For the first time, the method for the generation of electricity through the use of gyroscopic forces that arise during operation of the device is proposed. The technical solution is implemented using the device converts the gyroscopic forces generated between two rotors (gyroscopes) placed coaxially and rotating in opposite directions. The appearance of gyroscopic periodically forces due to the fact that the proposed device is fixed on the platform (the float) which changes periodically its angular position in space while the wave surface of water. In this case, the transformation of gyroscopic (mechanical) forces arising between the gyros rotating in opposite directions is carried out by the mechano-electrical transducers fixed between the supporting platform and housings of these gyros.
