| 20080236159 | CYCLOIDAL POWER GENERATOR - A cycloidal generator is provided to generate power from energy in a tidal flow. The generator includes a plurality of blades mounted on a hub for collective rotation about a hub axis, and a center shaft is positioned with its central axis oriented perpendicular to the tidal flow. Interconnecting the center shaft with each individual blade on the hub is a gear assembly that cyclically rotates the blade for autorotation of the hub in response to the tidal flow. A link assembly is also provided that interconnects the hub with the center shaft for rotation of the center shaft and the consequent generation of power in response to rotation of the hub. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20110265468 | WAVE POWER PLANT - The invention relates to a wave power plant, comprising at least one floating power plant body and means for converting movement of the floating power plant body into a rotary motion for power take off. The floating power plant body ( | 11-03-2011 |

| 20120227395 | PUMPS - A pump comprises a flexible container ( | 09-13-2012 |
| 20140130489 | WAVE ENERGY ABSORBER UNIT - An absorber unit | 05-15-2014 |
| 20140165550 | WAVE ENERGY ABSORPTION UNIT - A wave absorber element ( | 06-19-2014 |
| 20140182281 | ROTATING WAVE ENERGY MACHINE - A rotating wave energy machine includes at least one rotor that revolves in a synchronous manner for utilizing an orbital flow of an undulating body of water that circulates over the rotor. An output power is tapped at a rotor shaft and the power (in the power flow) is converted by at least one lift device of the rotor. A cross-section of the lift device includes at least one curve or angle that is shaped depending on a curve of a total flow. The at least one angle or curve is configured such that the influence of the relative flow on the total flow is taken into account. When the rotating wave energy machine is operational, the relative flow is superposed on the circulating orbital flow that acts on the lift device from outside, and a total flow is produced which is curved about the rotor shaft. | 07-03-2014 |
| 20140196451 | WAVE ENERGY EXTRACTION DEVICE AND METHOD - A wave energy extraction device (or paddle) for converting wave energy into mechanical motion is curved in the horizontal plane, with a concave side ( | 07-17-2014 |
| 20140305119 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONNECTING BUOYANT MEMBERS - A method and system of connecting buoyant members of an Attenuator type Wave Energy Converter (WEC) for converting the energy of water waves to electricity. By coupling a joint between two buoyant members of the WEC into the hull of one of the members, removes the joint from the exposure of the elements, slowing down the wear and tear on the joint from wind, sun and water. Furthermore, any required repair of the joint occurs in the substantially dry hull of one of the members reducing the need for the repair to be conducted in water. The joint keeps the members linked during heave, roll and yaw forces placed on the linked members by the moving water. | 10-16-2014 |
| 20150089937 | SYSTEM FOR CONVERSION OF WAVE ENERGY INTO ELECTRICAL ENERGY - The disclosure provides a device for converting wave motion into electricity, and methods of using the devices for generating electricity. The disclosure also provides a power generation device that includes a water blanket having a plurality of pods arranged in a grid for floating on the surface of a body of water. In one example, ball joints and hydraulic cylinders couple each of the pods to adjacent pods. Motors are coupled to the hydraulic cylinders such that a flow of hydraulic fluid created by expansion and compression of the cylinders due to movement of the pods causes rotational motion in the motor. Generators are coupled to respective motors to generate electricity from the rotational motion of the motors. Power from the ocean blanket can be supplemental with wind turbines, water paddles, water turbines, and solar cells. | 04-02-2015 |
| 20160083920 | HYBRID ENERGY PLANT - The invention pertains to energy production by capturing simultaneously water potential (surface height differences due to waves) and kinetic (flow of water due to e.g. waves, tide or streams) energy. The plant can have tidal compensation ( | 03-24-2016 |
