Apparatus for extracting energy from waves comprises a float device coupled to a shaft such that vertical movement of the float devices drives the shaft. Movement of the float device is generated by the wave motion, and the mass of the float device is such that its natural frequency of vertical oscillation is substantially resonant with the frequency of a sea wave. The mass of the float device can be adjustable to achieve this.
La présente invention concerne un appareil permettant de prélever de l'énergie dans les vagues. Ce dispositif comprend un flotteur couplé à un arbre tel que le déplacement vertical des flotteurs entraîne l'arbre. Le déplacement du flotteur est provoqué par le mouvement de la vague. La masse du flotteur est telle que sa fréquence d'oscillation verticale soit sensiblement en résonance avec la fréquence de la vague de mer. A cet effet, la masse du flotteur peut être réglable.
