Title:
WAVE POWER GENERATOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/025156
Kind Code:
A2
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a wave power generator, and more particularly, to a wave power generator that has comparatively high energy conversion efficiency, so that it can induce active investment and research and development to overcome uncertainties about the natural environment, and which can enhance practicability and value as a clean energy source, especially by virtue of the improved return on investment thereof. For this purpose, the wave power generator of the present invention is characterized in that is comprises: a plurality of rafts arranged on a water surface to move freely with the movement of waves; a plurality of connectors, connecting the plurality of rafts to each other, for performing the conversion of kinetic energy by converting the wave-induced movement of one raft into an amplified lever movement on an adjacent raft; a plurality of generators installed on the plurality of rafts to generate electricity; and an energy-converting unit, connected to the plurality of connectors and to the plurality of generators, for converting the kinetic energy from the plurality of connectors into rotational energy for driving the plurality of generators.
