WAVE POWERAPPARATUS.
APPLICATION FILED MAR.18. 1907.
f am MR@ mzacf. @MMX Gb/My@ --Be itknown thatwe, ALvA UNITED STATES DATENT OEEioE.
ALVA L. REYNOLDs AND GEORGE A. REYNOLDs, OE' HUNTINGTON BEECH, CALIFORNIA.
WAVE-:POWER APPBATUS.
To all whom tt may concern:
L. REYNOLDS and GE RGE A. REYNOLDS, both citizens of the United States, residing at Huntington Beach, in the county of Orange and State of California, have invented a new and useful Wave-Power Apparatus, of which the foln lowing is a speci cation.
It is of the objects ofl this invention to provide practical, durable, economic and effective means for obtaining constant and regular power from the intermittent and irregular force of the ocean waves; to avoid danger of breakage and destruction from eX- cessive force of the waves; and to take advantage of' the ebb and ow of the waves and the lateralI movement of the Water in every direction.-
This Ainvention is designed to utilize the horizontal component o f the waves instead of the vertical or rise and Jfall, and for this pur ose a vane hinged or pivoted on a vertica axis is used` An object of the invention is to provide an automatic, vertically-adjustable vane which will rise and fall to conform tothe varia- .tions of tides to obtain maximum power l from a given size vane by keeping vthe submerged portion' of the vane at times-l in that portion of the water where the Wave motion is the greatest. l
The wave motion of a body of water is.
eatest at the surface of the body, and the Orizontal component of the motion of the water for a limited depth below the surface will be effective as a unit alternately in one and another direction, while below such Ilimited depth there' may be vcrossv or reversely-inoving currents which would retard the movement/of a body moving responsively to the upper unitaril moving portion of' the Water body; or t e Water elow such limited 4 depth may have such a limited horizontal component as'to act'as a drag on a body submerged in both the up er and the lower portion .of the'liquid. or this reason the vane which is to receive the force of the wave should be submerged only to a certain depth in order to receive and transmit` the greatest efective power for mechanical operations.

Fi 3 is av plan section of one ofthe venes.
he means upon which the waves act directly for imparting motion thereto, 'consist broadl in one or more vanos, as 1,` partly or w olly submerged in the water and each'connected to revolve on an upright axis which is located at or adjacent' toene edge of the vane so that each vane will respondto the impulse of the Wave actingthereon, each independently of the other.
l 2 desi nates an upright sl. .ft mounted'in Y suitable earings 3, 4, and operativelycon` 'l nectedwith la ump, as 5, `by any suitable means, as cra 6, pitman 7 and cross-head 8; the latter being connected with pistonrod 9 of the pump, which rod isheld A1n position by guide 10.
The parts hereinbefore enumerated t-o I' make up a single unit or 'wave motor and the entire apparatus will usually be installed with a series 'of such motors connected and operating as a single plant for .sup l power for mechanical operations asin ica dynamo' D and Water-Wheel: W; the latter being driven by Water delivered through nozzle N suppliied from the pumps 5 througlh a main M w ch has alatelaloonnection izin the pressure and su ply'at nozzle.
- T e pumps-5 may be o anysuit'a'ble cnstruction, and, may ybe '"ippliedf witheir through` pipes P that are controlled by check-valves C. Each of the pumps'may be' supplied through a suctionfpige 'Odyof water' provided with a foobvalveF."
and connected vwith the main M,
i with an elevated tank T for equal#l i 9; S extending suitably? The varies may be4 of any suitable"construe.la
tion and mounted in any desirable z manner; care being taken that they shall stand verti cal inthe water at one side of `the axis around which they revolve. lInv the apparatus eating shown,'each vane is in the formofa blade or panel vertically adustablein guides frame-work having Ways -36V inl which the fertical edges of thi` venes may move ipand own.
In orderto cause the vertically-adjustable varies. to automatically assume the position ins f ioo i 20 which may'hein'the orm off an open l sup ort the lower turnbuckle 'rods for supporting the lowei bearings 3, the same being connected by collars. S0 with'the piles 50 `near the bed of fthe `liody of water. 'By means of the turn y buckle construction in connection with the l collars, vit is made ossible to a propriately earings at t 1e requisite leve in the water, in a cheap and satisfactory manner without liabilitvof such bearings being undermined or brolren by the action of *,he'waves. f
The main weight of each vane, its frame and shaft, will be supported b' the Vupper ,tica
bearing that is sustained byt e pier; the' lower caring being intended,morey artcu larly torhold the lower end ofthe s ait ap propriatelyin place to keep' the( shaft in verposi'tion Y. 'jgf V l The collars or bands-whichsecure the turn- Abuckle rods may be slidable on the piles, and
in practice the lower bearing may be adl, justed to the appropriate level by lowering is firmly the collars with the turnbncltle iframe and lower bearing attached thereto, and then tightenin the turnbuckle until the bearing ed where desired ,the collars bein drawn tightly againstthe piles. f
he shaft Amay pass through andmove freely up and down in the-lower bearing, the
purpose of which is to serve as-,a stay rather than as a support for the shaft; but we do not limit the'invention to any` particular form of bearing for either the top or bottom of the shaft.
90 designates a ate at the nozzle which can be partly or w olly closed at any time without `loss of power,las the water not delivered through the nozzle will pass on to the storageLtank, and from thence to the nozzle l when needed.
In practice, any number ci units may be employed, and their partsmay be of anysize or oportions deemed advisable. The vanes will-preferablybe of 4such specific gravity that they will ordinarily be nearly, but not quite, submerged, and the length of said venes will such that they will extend' down'into the water only such distance as maybe determined by experiment to be the `lzes'tlgada ted to allow the wavesto act moet `1 ,'effective y upon the vanes to cause them tc 'revolve on their axes. As the waves ebb andlvilow, the several vanes will operate 1n-` dependently of each other in response to the entete vertical vanes movable It will be readily seen that these motors or vanos may be attached `to air compressors, `and the power utilized in such manner as is deemed advisable.
Any rotary motion imparted to a vane will be transmitted to the operating mechanism on the pier. I l v:
The n'ioveme'nt of the water in one direc- .tion will cause the vane to swing around in responsev thereto until such *motion `olf the water ceases or :until the vane has swung. into parallelism therewith. ln, the latter case the vane ceases to move until `a chan e ci direction occurs in the water acting t ereon th en t/he vane will. swing in another direction. By'reason of` this operationy the vanes may act effectively in `both high and low seas, the
force of the wave' always tending rst to o crate the' vane and then, if excessive, to t row the vane out of the way of the direct force of the wave, which force will then be. eil'ective only u' on the comparatively small surfaceof the s lait, vwhereby the liability of destruction by high seas is reduced to a miniIh mum.` y
Each vane is mounted to revolve inan unobstructed path throughoutan entire circle so as to ,act responsively toevery impulse of the wave in every direction, and to come to rest in a line with the moving current when ever the movement of said current continues after the 'vane Ais in such line. 1
