Abstract
A wave power harnessing device which may include a base configured to support at least one guide opening; first and second shafts which may be situated apart and parallel from each other and to the base; first and second sprockets coupled to the first and second shafts, respectively, the first and second sprockets may each include an overrunning clutch configured to rotate the shaft coupled thereto in a single direction; a force transmitting member (FTM) may be coupled to the first and second sprockets; at least one buoy drive shaft (BUDS) may be coupled to the FTM and to at least one buoy; and/or a generator coupled to at least one of the first and second shafts and which may be configured to generate an electrical power.
Claims19
A wave power harnessing device, comprising:
- a base configured to support at least one guide opening;
- first and second shafts situated apart and parallel from each other and to the base;
- first and second sprockets coupled to the first and second shafts, respectively, the first and second sprockets each having an overrunning clutch configured to rotate the shaft coupled thereto in a single direction;
- a force transmitting member (FTM) coupled to the first and second sprockets;
- at least one buoy drive shaft (BUDS) coupled to the FTM and to at least one buoy;
- a drive coupler (DC) configured to couple the BUDS to the FTM, wherein the DC is configured to allow pivotable movement of the BUDS pivoting about the DC;
- and
- a generator coupled to at least one of the first and second shafts and configured to generate an electrical power.
