Wave gear drive -WGD

Abstract

The Wave Gear Drive, WGD system is a new method for directly converting sea wave energy to mechanical drive using wave undulations and a buoyant float directly acting on a spiral spring or rack and pinion or power pulley system to drive a rotary or reciprocating water pump that pumps a small quantity of water to a high head, collect it and feed it directly or in conjunction with a water reservoir on top of the offshore WGD system supporting structure, to a hydro turbo generator to generate leveled electric power covering the full wave cycle duration and transmit it to the shore using power and control cables laid at the sea bed, or to drive a polyphase generator to generate electric current, control and condition it to operate in parallel, and transmit it to shore using power and control cables laid at the sea bed; in addition to ebb/tide turbo generators and wind turbo generators that are part of the offshore REWGD system which provides access platform for the wind turbines for ease of construction and maintenance; and provides a break water system.
