As described above, the conventional floating wave power generation device absorbs wave energy by using the floating body 1', which has a constant box-shaped or salter-duck shape below the sea surface 5. Therefore, since the water level of the floating body 1' is constant, its natural period of heave is also constant. As a result,
Floating body 1' synchronizes with the waves only during a certain period of waves, and floating body 1' does not synchronize with waves outside of that period. Therefore, the absorption efficiency of wave energy, that is, the power generation efficiency is poor. There's a problem.

However, g: gravitational acceleration From the above, if the ballast water in the floating body 1 is drained by the pump 8 and the stuttering d of the floating body 1 is reduced,
The displacement W(d) becomes smaller, and since the floating body 1 is trapezoidal, its water line area Aw(d) becomes larger, and as a result, the natural pitching period Tz of the floating body 1 becomes smaller.
