Wave energy generation device and methods of using the same
Abstract:
A device is provided that converts random movement of extrinsic oscillation from an ocean wave into purposeful movement, such as torque or other motion that can be used to generate electricity. This device may include but is not limited to two major components: 1) a collection unit and 2) a transmission unit. The collection unit represents the interactive part of the device that interfaces with an extrinsic force which provides the randomized kinetic motion that is translated by an actuating arm connected with the transmission unit into pivoting bidirectional movement along at least two directional axes, and may include a series of connected pivoting arms of different lengths. The transmission unit is the portion of the device that converts the pivoting directional movement of the actuating arm or arms into rotation of a drive shaft that is then converted into purposeful torque, and thus, electricity.
