Abstract

The invention refers to a Floating Energy Flywheel-carrying Cylinder (1), small to giant, for the production of electricity from renewable energy sources, that is the upward, downward and horizontal movement of sea waves, as well as the water's kinetic energy, flood and ebb-tide, sea currents and even river currents. It consists of a cylinder (1) that seats and rotates on the surface of the water (10a) on a rotation axis (2). Its circumference bears a great load in order to create great inertia that is supported on the water and not on the axis (2). The balance of both the rotation and anchorage is achieved through the axis (2). The cylinder (1) rotates and produces many ton meters of energy by the upward and downward wave movement, which it then transfers through its axis to an adjoining system of machinery and electric generator on the buoy (18). In order to exploit the water currents, the cylinder (1) is vested in all its length either with various types of fins (33, 34, 35), or with a worm screw (36, 36a, 36b), which can be extended lengthwise or by diameter, according to the needs.
