Definitions

• thermoeletric plants through the use of atomic energy (nuclear power plants) and by using motors (electromechanical generators).
• the aforementioned model the object of our analysis, has the // _ purpose of obtaining said energy by availing of sea waves, based on the following:
• the assembly making up the Marine Energy Generator shall be // located near the coast (in order to reduce the transmission cable // requirements) and on a site where the waves present a uniform modula-// tion. Such assembly shall be firmly anchored on the site where it - shall remain stationed, in order to prevent it from being dislodged // from its place through the action of marine currents or strong winds.
• Marine Energy Generator II is / made up of a set of three floating tanks (1) in the horizontal direction, - interlock for fixation of the tanks (2), counterweights to maintain the vertical position of the tanks (3) and levers (4) having racks (6) and levers (5) with cog wheels (7).
• the distance between the tanks of the ends shall be equivalent to •the sea wave, so that when the tanks of the ends are on the crests of _ the waves, the one of the center lies on the base, such position // inverting when the wave approaches (the longitudinal position of the tanks is perpendicular to the length of the wave.)-
• This shuttle movement is transmitted by levers that turn around a common shaft in the center, and by an oscillating movement on their / - upper part, in the horizontal and opposed direction, between the rack (6) and the cog wheels (7).
• the latter provided with ratchets, by means of crowns and pinions transmit the movement to the shaft (9), in a single direction (when the cog wheels turn to the left, just ' one transmit the movement, when they turn to the right, the other one does) -
• This shaft (9) has in its center a crown provided with ratchets so that it will transmit the movement to the shaft (10), by means of pinions, only in one direction, and shall prevent them from stopping/ when the cog wheels invert their movement.
• HP and 8480 x 0.75 6.360 Kw (the sizes of the assemblies / vary, depending on the type of the region where they are installed, size if the waves and may have than a set of levers - per assembly) .

• levers may be of the single or compound type, this including opera tion with connecting rods and equalizing levers, the options / - of models under said principle being various.

• FIG. 17 Sectional view of the sea coast and form of mastering the waves in order to obtain a better operation of the marine / energy generator assembly II measures a, b, c and As can be seen from the attached figures, the most relevant / of each assembly are:
• the assembly with compound levers enables a great power of adaptation to the various sizes of sea waves, because it has a _ mechanism that displaces through the levers the upper fixation shaft of the tanks, thereby changing the distance between them (1).
• the mechanism can be displaced between levers (2) (compound levers) or betweend connecting rods and equalizing levers (3).
• the aforementioned mechanism can operate by means of steels chains and cable with an inter - - locking type of brakes to fix the shaft on the desired place, or by means/ of a worm gear (that drives but is not driven), taking care to move / simultaneously the mechanism sidewise upon the joint operation.
• Figures 09 and 09a show an assembly with low gravity center, with - ra, ck and pinions on the side and the mechanism on the center, with an average adaptation power for the different sizes of the sea waves.
• Figure 10 and 10a show an assembly with low gravity center, but in _ which the distance between the tanks is fixed,
• the mechanism operates on the sides, on compressors and generators, the compressor cylinders having a variable length through the action of the hydraulic mechanism.
• Figures 11 and 11a show a multiple assembly of great dimensions , fixed (except in the smaller tanks of the ends), but that can move in _ order to adapt to the various type of waves.
• Figure 12 and 12a show a platform type assembly of 1 1/2 wavelength with an operating mechanism similar to the assembly of Fig. 08.
• This assembly is characterized by the fact that it has a minimum shuttle // movement in the vertical direction on its platform, because the shaft / _ that is supported on the structure is located between the tanks that / swing.
• This same model may have two wavelengths.
• Figure 13 and 13a show a combination of levers, connecting rods / and equalizing type adjustable levers.
• Figure 14 and 14a are a side view of assembly of compound levers/ which can drive a piston or cog wheels. This type of lever can greatly / intensify the vertical movement.
• Figures 15 and 15a present the assembly showing another alternati ⁇ ve of the. operating mechanism.
• one cable (1) that is pulled when the medium/ tank is in the rising stroke moves a pulley (2) with two diameters, which in its turn moves the cable (3) with its larger diameter, up to the shaft (4), which joins in the center the two levers.
• the cable continues up to shaft (5) which drives to one sole direction by means of a ratchet system - (6) the handwheel (7) that, through a shaft (8) communicates movement to a clutch system (9), to a gear box (10) and finally to the generator (11).
