More Information
Summary:The invention relates to a wave energy converter (1) with a rotor (2, 3, 4), for converting wave motion of a body of water in which the wave energy converter (1) is installed into rotary motion of the rotor (2, 3, 4), wherein the average density of at least one rotating component of the rotor (2, 3, 4) is adjustable and/or is less than the average density of the fluid surrounding the rotor in the body of water. The invention also relates to a suitable control device and operating method. (Fig. 3) v 7 ap1, 4 - 4 Fig. 4
