Wave power generator to turn Ocean waves in to Electricity

Wave powerGenerator

Wave power stands out as one of the most promising renewable energy sources for the future! .

In contrast -The most reliable renewable energy source, still remains unutilized. Any other renewable resource like wind power, solar power or geothermal energy are not available continuesly. Techniques used in many of wave power generators require lot of improvement to make them efficient. The energy density of wave power is higher than some other renewable energy sources such as wind and solar energy. Waves are often in irregular form . Therefore wave power is difficult to convert into electricity, and this has restricted the widespread use of wave power.

While solar energy, wind power, and other forms of renewable energy are dependent on specific conditions, ocean waves constantly rise and fall, providing a unique opportunity for harnessing energy. The potential of wave power is vast and largely untapped. Currently, wave power is one of the most reliable renewable energy sources, yet it remains underutilized. Other renewable resources, like wind and solar power, are not consistently available. Additionally, the technologies used in many wave power generators require significant improvement to enhance their efficiency. The energy density of wave power is higher than that of some other renewable sources, such as wind and solar energy. However, the unpredictable nature of wave patterns makes it challenging to convert this energy into electricity, limiting the widespread adoption of wave power.

Wave power generation is a lucrative energy generating process, incorporating an offshore or onshore marine platforms. The best systematic procedure to bring this power stored in sea water is to take-up the movement directly by submerged object. This never ending wave power is then capable of harnessing with the floating buoyant moored with straight rods that can slide along fixed guides. The best systematic procedure to bring this power stored in sea water is to take-up the movement directly by submerged object.

The platforms of the wave power generating assembly, is accompanied by underwater caisson , facing an inclined surface towards the wave front containing watertight chambers. It is capable of reflecting the hydro dynamic forces of waves upwards to floats. Such an structure is preventing the coastal erosion as well. Therefore wave power plant can be built on one side of wave gatherers, also serve as breakers. The wave power plant shown here is designed to stand against the bombardment of rough wave fronts acting upon the structure from time to time.

Easy to build Wave power generator details: 1- Floating Blob facing wave front; 2- Uni-directional gear, speed up gear and electricity generator; 03- wave agitator; 04- load to prevent the device tilting (this is a vessel filled with water or sand can be easily pump out before mobilizing); 05- Floating platform floating on surface of ocean, connected to wave agitator to vary along with tidal level

Uni-directional gear is capable of convert by directional motion of a shaft in to one directional motion (continues motion) of another shaft. This feature is applicable in power generation due to ocean waves. The wave power generator platform is accompanied with a floater placed against the wave front. This floater is capable of bobbing up and down along secured guides in harmony with the wave pattern to move attached rods up and down. Wave power capture device The rods are linked by a rack of gears to the uni-directional gear attached to wave power generator platform. Any way the resulting continues rotary motion is at lower speed not suitable to feed an electricity generator. A high speed gear is accompanied to this assembly before it is fed to electricity generator. The wave power plants, are constructed to stand against the bombardment of rough wave fronts from time to time. There are adjustments necessary for the platform height depending on varying wave surface level due to tidal condition. This underwater structure level is automatically adjusting according to the tidal level, along with the floating platform attached to it. It can divert the under water flow pattern and bring up the wave pressure to surface, like happened on the sea shore. Wavepower generator assembly

Waves are often in irregular form . Application of rack and pinion along with uni directional gear can eliminate this problem. But resulting out put is having a lower speed. Therefore high speed gear box is employed before it is converted in to electricity.

A wave power generator operates as a direct link mechanism. It consists of a buoy, a rack, and a pinion, along with an oscillation converter that facilitates a direct transfer of force.

The prototype includes three modules: a float, an underwater caisson, a direct current electricity generator, and structural frames attached to the caisson that connect to the power generator and platform. The coastal location provides favorable conditions for energy production, as it allows for easier access compared to a wave power plant installed farther offshore. Thus, the wave power generator can be set up at a distance from the shore, where the energy potential in waves is significant, as they crash onto the shoreline. In such waters, the energy release is evident and substantial, and installation is relatively straightforward.

Energy transmitted from the Sun to Earth is accumulating gradually, while fossil fuel reserves are diminishing. By harnessing this energy without altering the environment or disturbing its wildlife, wave power generators hold promise for a sustainable future for our planet.
