Abstract

A wave powered electricity generator comprises a base 20 which is connected to a platform by a torsion mount 21 such that the base is rotatable about a generally vertical first axis 22 in opposite directions from a rest position. A tubular arm 25 formed from carbon fibre is mounted on the base to pivot about a generally horizontal second axis 24. A float 28 is carried by the outboard end of the arm and a magnetic body 29 is attached to the inboard end. Rotation about the first and second axis allows the float 28 to move in continuous loop-like elliptical or circular path. The magnetic body 29 is interacts with an electrical stator coil assembly mounted on the base. A plurality of the generators are mounted on a concrete barge.
