Abstract

The power generator floats on the sea in a predetermined position. It consists of an articulated dorsal tube formed from a number of waterproof and flexible annular segments having crenelated joints. Conduits contain flexible cables which hold the sections together. A ballast weight holds the structure at a certain angle, and the power module is in the form of a split section sleeve fitted around the column. A float or "duck" having a frontal lobe, oscillates with wave action, imparting a rotating motion to the power generating module. The complete assembly consists of several similar units connected together.
