In this fixed position there is a rotating mechanism of the cylinder on the axis' (2) two ends, producing kinetic energy from the waves.
  • One way to achieve great inertia of the Floating Energy Flywheel-carrying Cylinder is to place an inner concentric cylinder, creating thus a ring in between the cylinder (1) and so the ring is filled with concrete or water of high peripheral homogenous weight.
  • the walls of the cylinder (1) can be constructed right from the start from a thick metal casing for greater peripheral strength.
  • Another way is to omit the second inner cylinder and cover the peripheral weight of the inertia throughout its length with iron beams or cement columns, fixed in any possible way.
  • a third way of creating a Floating Energy Flywheel-carrying Cylinder is to: Construct on both ends of the cylinder's inner space an area with two inner diaphragms and in an equal distance from the cylinder's outer caps, following calculations. This area shall be filled either with cement or with water and it will constitute the bulk of the cylinder's inertia. The space between the two extreme volumes shall be empty.
  • Two wheels are fitted on the two ends of the axis of a functional Floating Energy Flywheel-carrying Cylinder.
  • One is a clockwise ratchet wheel and the other a counterclockwise one (bicycle clutch).
  • On each of these two wheels a sprocket chain is engaged.
  • One end of the sprocket chain is extended downwards vertically with an anchor stem to the bottom of the sea where it is gripped. From the other end of the sprocket chain hangs a free weight - load. This way, as a wave arrives the cylinder rises and the one ratchet wheel rotates the cylinder while the other spins freely (without making the cylinder turn).
  • double anchoring anchors immobilize horizontally the tubular rotating axis, left and right.
  • Acting on this axis are buoys with appropriate (directional) band-break around the axis; each one of them has two levers - beams, (perpendicular to axis), on whose ends the brakes are applied with a powerful metallic band that surrounds the axis and ends once again at the buoy's beam.

  • the vertical fins of the flywheel-carrying cylinder rotate it counter clockwise to itself, immediately through the connection of the clutch mechanism to the equipment buoy. It has an automatic system that acts and the clockwise rotations become counter clockwise for the generator.

For this reason there is a better yield than other systems.
  • Figure 1 presents a front view of the floating energy flywheel-carrying cylinder (1), with the base of that side (3), its rotation axis (2) and the seating of the entire system on the virtual sea generatrix bearing (10a).

Otherwise, the perimeter is covered through its whole length either with very heavy iron girders (5) one next to the other or with concrete piles (6) secured technically in any other way.

Both halves are then fastened together temporarily through any kind of system (12) on four points, fastening them crossways, doing the same in the diametrically opposite side.
  • Figure 9 A front view of the flywheel-carrying cylinder. It shows the application of a gear wheel on its axis (2), fixed onto the base (3) of the cylinder that disposes a counterclockwise rotating mechanism with a ratchet (one way bicycle clutch) (13de). Thus enabling the cylinder to rotate when the wave rises and to spin freely when the wave recedes.

  • Figure 12 This shows the opposite course from the other end of the axis of the cylinder (2) where the ratchet (one way bicycle clutch) (13ar) is fixed. As the right one (13de) was rising this one was spinning freely. Now that the cylinder will start descending as the wave recedes and move from position (a) to the low position (b), the weight (16) of the sprocket chain (14a) will also move downward, making the cylinder spin with the same rotation (22). This way, the flywheel-carrying cylinder has constant rotation from each wave's arrival and departure.

  • the anchoring (20), Figure 9, starts at the ball bearing (21) of the axis (2) and the anchor (20) is connected to the exterior ball bearing casing via a strong collar that tightens up the ball bearing.
  • Figure 13 shows a long axis (23) which on one side is surrounded by a large number of upward buoys (24) and on the other side by a large number of downward buoys (25). In this way the axis (23) and the buoys (24 and 25) cover simultaneously a large area of many waves and add to the axis (23) rotations and great energy from waves that arrive from any wind direction.
  • the axis (23) is held at the calm sea waterline, Figure 17, through vertical anchoring with grip (17) at given intervals of its length. Keeping the axis at the waterline level allows the buoys to delineate the biggest possible rotation arc of the axis (23).
  • the upward and downward movement of the buoys is disorderly, as disorderly is the arrival of the waves.
  • Each buoy acts on its own without hindering the action of the others. So, there comes a time when the action of a group of buoys, regardless of which one, coincides on the axis with the advantage of great energy and rotation.
  • FIG 14, side view and Figure 15 ground plan show buoys (24 and 25) similar in shape and in dimensions, either cylindrical, either cubic or conical etc, of a fixed capacity where the buoys (24) are secured on two levers - beams (26) and the buoys (25) on two angular levers - beams (27).
  • the buoys (24) are empty and act upwards with the wave pressure, whilst the buoys (25) are half filled with water in order to float on one hand and act downwards with their weight as the waves recede on the other: This way there is a constant advantageous action.

  • the fulcrum is the lever's end on the axis.
  • the action of power is the buoy and the implementation of the braking work is point (29). Instead, there could be a bolt tightening device (nut) with ratchet, or a gear mechanism with ratchet (one way bicycle clutch).

Abstract

L'invention concerne un cylindre flottant supportant un volant accumulant l'énergie (1), de taille petite à gigantesque, pour la production d'électricité à partir de sources d'énergie renouvelable, telles que le mouvement ascendant, descendant et horizontal des vagues, de même que l'énergie cinétique de l'eau, les inondations et la marée descendante, les courants marins et même les courants de rivière. Il s'agit d'un cylindre (1) qui repose et tourne à la surface de l'eau (10a) sur un axe de rotation (2). Sa circonférence supporte une charge importante afin de créer une grande inertie qui est imprimée sur l'eau et non sur l'axe (2). L'axe (2) assure l'équilibre à la fois de la rotation et de l'ancrage. Le cylindre (1) tourne et produit de nombreuses tonnes métriques d'énergie grâce au mouvement ascendant et descendant des vagues, qu'il transfère ensuite à travers son axe à un système contigu de machines et générateur électrique sur la bouée (18). Pour exploiter les courants d'eau, le cylindre (1) est équipé sur toute sa longueur de divers types d'ailettes (33, 34, 35) ou d'une vis sans fin (36, 36a, 36b), qui peut se déployer en longueur ou en diamètre, selon les besoins.
