A Novel Floating Rotational Wave-Power Mechanism

Average energy consumption is increasing rapidly and finding a reliable source is of great importance. On the other hand, the global warming is posing a threat and has to be taken into account. Thus, renewable energy can be a great choice for a couple of reasons, including its sustainability and at the same time almost independency from water consumption. Among different types of renewable energy, the one which has not attracted many research and industrial attention is wave power. Converting the wave energy into mechanical and storable energy can become the one of the future's new solutions to energy crisis. In this study, a new design is offered to overcome some technical issues in converting the wave energy into useful mechanical energy. Today, examples like Pelamis are being used in various regions. It is worth noting that the design presented in this study is a completely different approach from what has been presented and studied in the literature.
