Abstract

The present invention provides a device for generating electrical energy using ocean waves. The device comprising: a tunnel like structure having two ends; a pair of fixed floats and a pair of articulated floats being attached to the upper end of tunnel like structure; a turbine being accommodated inside the tunnel like structure, the turbine comprises a rotating shaft and a unidirectional rotor; and a direct drive generator being provided at the first end of tunnel like structure and connected to the shaft of turbine. The articulated floats are attached to the tunnel like structure in conjunction with gas springs and the fixed and articulated floats provide driving force to move the tunnel like structure up and down, the up and down movement of the tunnel like structure enables the water column inside it to generate force which results into oscillating motion for driving the unidirectional turbine rotor to rotate the direct drive generator through the shaft and generate electrical energy.
