Summary: | Sea waves are amplified in a converging channel that leads to an opening in a cylindrical pressure chamber. The pressure chamber has a conical top section leading to a housing containing an air turbine and generator. Sea wave motion produces standing waves of considerable energy within the pressure chamber. The standing wave motion results in pulsating air flow across the turbine. Vent apertures in the top side of the turbine housing permit the necessary air flow to occur. Guide blades combine with the runner wheel to allow air expansion to occur so as to produce rotational motion of the generator driveshaft. |
