Abstract

The invention relates to a sea wave energy collector consisting of a cable or hinged bar serving as an axle, about which multiple turbines are arranged and secured, which turbines operate with the flow of water perpendicular to the axle. All of the turbines are submerged or semi-submerged and include curved or inclined plates or blades. The ends of the cable or hinged bars are secured via stationary knuckle joints to piers anchored to the seabed and/or between at least one point on the coast. The taut hinged bar or cable concentrates the energy collected by all of the turbines from the waves or a horizontal fluvial current and applies same to a revolution multiplier which actuates an electric generator.

Los cables, barras articuladas y elementos giratorios y flotadores pueden estar sumergidos o semisumergidos. Se capta tanto el movimiento ascendente de las olas como el de avance de las mismas.

The turbines can be mounted on rigid bars between two pillars.
Las barras articuladas pueden estar unidas entre sí por sus extremos mediante rótulas, anillas o argollas, también se pueden usar uniones tipo cardan. Una variante solo utiliza las turbinas unidas entre sí mediante unas argollas unidas a sus ejes. A excepción de las turbinas, cables o barras articuladas y pilares de sujeción, los demás elementos se pueden colocar en tierra, fuera del agua, incrementando su protección y facilitando su instalación y mantenimiento.The articulated bars can be joined to each other by their ends by means of ball joints, rings or rings, cardan type joints can also be used. A variant only uses the turbines linked together by means of rings attached to their shafts.

Se pueden colocar entre dos puntos terrestres y en varias ristras paralelas.Depending on the type of coast, the devices will be attached to the bottom of the sea by means of pillars or with buoys anchored to the bottom with nail-shaped stems.

Los ejes se pueden colocar sujetos por cables o mediante barras.The axes can be attached by cables or by bars.
Las turbinas pueden tener los alabes formados por telas o plásticos entre dos crucetas con brazos radiales rectos o curvados y el eje de la turbina. En sus extremos pueden tener unos tabiques, dando forma de cazoletas semicilíndricas para evitar se salga el agua lateralmente.The turbines can have the blades formed by fabrics or plastics between two crossheads with straight or curved radial arms and the axis of the turbine.
