Abstract
Floating platform fixed to bottom of a mass of water, provided with shovel wheels or helixes or turbines fixed to platform, lathe in that an anchorage cable is rolled by a recoverable spring or connected to anchorage by a rod-crank, and solar cells, they allow to transform the kinetic energy of the waves, aquatic currents and eolic energy in electricity by connecting the axes of shovel wheels or helixes or turbines to electricity generators, electricity generators to adapter circuits, and adapter circuits and solar cells to electric accumulators.
Claims23
A method to obtain electric power from masses of water by using kinetic energy of water and from surfaces of water characterized in that a floating platform is anchored to a anchorage point placed at the bottom of mass of water, coast or other floating platforms on the mass of water, through an anchorage cable,
- the movements of water are picked up through a set of turbines or helixes or shovel wheels installed in the platform,
- when the movement of the water is oscillatory, this movement is picked up by an oscillatory axis connected to the anchorage cable with a rod-crank mechanism, or also with the anchorage cable rolling/unrolling up on the oscillatory axis, like in a lathe, with a recoverable helical spring,
- a set of solar cells or eolic helixes are installed on the surface of platform,
- the movement picked up by each said axis of turbine, helix, shovel, lathe or eolic helix feeds a direct current generator,
- said direct current generator feeds an accumulator, through a rectifier if the axis movement is oscillatory, or directly in other case,
- the electric direct current from the solar cells feeds the accumulator,
- the accumulator feeds an oscillator to obtain an alternating current.

- and eolic helix on the free surface of the floating platform,
- a axis connecting each said helix, turbine, shovels wheel or eolic helix to a direct current generator,
- each said direct current generator is connected to an accumulator through a rectifier if the axis movement is oscillatory, or directly in other case,
- a set of solar cells covering the free surface of the floating platform,
- the solar cells are connected to the accumulator,
- an oscillator is connected to the accumulator, to produce a alternate current with suitable frequency and voltage,
- a security anchorage device.
