Floating device for harnessing swell energy by lateral overflow, said device being formed by hulls which converge in plan view and have a variable freeboard between which the waves propagate. The convergence produces a gradual increase in the height of the wave as it propagates between the hulls, which, together with the gradual reduction in the freeboard from a particular section of said hulls, gives rise to the lateral overflow of the mass of water of the crest over their rails, which is collected in tanks which are at different heights (in accordance with the reduction in the freeboard) and are connected to the corresponding turbines. The angle of convergence between the hulls can be varied in order to be adapted to the sea state. The harnessing system is supplemented with a connecting closure ramp between the sterns of the hulls in order to collect the water which has previously not managed to overflow the structure.
L'invention concerne un dispositif flottant pour le captage d'énergie de la houle par déversement latéral formé par des coques convergentes en vue en plan et à franc-bord variable entre lesquelles se propagent les vagues. La convergence entraîne une augmentation progressive de la hauteur de la vague à mesure que celle-ci se propage entre les coques, ce qui, conjointement à la réduction progressive du franc-bord à partir d'une section déterminée desdites coques, favorise le déversement latéral de la masse d'eau de la crête sur les bords des coques, l'eau étant recueillie dans des dépôts situés à différentes hauteurs (selon la réduction du franc-bord) raccordés aux turbines correspondantes. L'angle de convergence entre les coques est variable en vue d'une adaptation à l'état de la mer. Ledit système de captage comprend également une rampe de fermeture de raccord entre les poupes des coques pour recueillir l'eau qui ne s'est pas déversée de la structure.
