A linear, universal modular absorber for wave energy conversion having a linear module incorporating two subassemblies: an actuated subassembly and a reference subassembly. The linear module contains a direct drive linear machine for converting linear mechanical motion into electrical energy. The linear module may be used between any two oscillating mechanical bodies, exploiting their relative motion, and adapting to the mechanical characteristics of the larger system in which it is deployed.

The invention relates to a method and a system for adjusting the torque of a mass and spinning wheel rotator in a wave power plant. The torque of a rotator rotating around a vertical shaft is compensated partially or completely with a compensating moment which is produced by an electric machine. Acceleration components (.sup.ACCx and .sup.ACCy) are measured for a given point of the wave power plant's floating body (1) in directions perpendicular to each other. A vector (V.sub.xy) with a magnitude formula (A) and a direction (a.sub.Acc) is established for said acceleration components, the direction or angular position (a) of a rotator (2) is monitored and its lag (α.sub.LAG) from the acceleration vector's direction (α.sub.Acc) is determined. The compensating moment is adjusted as dependent on a compensation factor (B) whose sub-factors are the magnitude of the body's acceleration vector (V.sub.xy) and the sine of the angle of lag (sin α.sub.LAG). This is supplemented with a compensation factor based on spinning wheel forces in a manner otherwise similar except that the acceleration must be replaced with a rotation speed (AV.sub.x-y) of the body's inclination, which is obtained from an inertial sensor 821). and the mass must be replaced with a gyro force which is dependent on the inertia and rotating speed of a spinning wheel.

A hinge system and method for an Articulated Wave Energy Conversion System (AWECS) that provides for hinge and piston pump displacements due to multi-axis forces in allowing adjacent barges of the AWECS to pivot with respect to one another due to wave motion. The hinge system uses a plurality of parallel hinges, and axle segments, coupled between adjacent barges wherein the hinges are coupled to upright trusses positioned transversely along facing edges of each barge. Hinge bracing includes lower V-shaped struts that act as lower stops when the barges pitch up and also include upper struts that act as upper stops when the barges pitch down. The pumps are positioned in parallel. The pumps have special couplings such as ball joint couplings that permit motions other than longitudinal pump/ram motions due to multi-axis forces generated by the wave motion and thus provide omni-directional stress relief to the pumps.

A machine and process to compress ambient air using natural swell of ocean waves to store energy. The devise is a bi-directional air pump operated by ocean wave power of water buoyancy as well as earth gravity in a pressure vessel using a piston. The machine uses a large surface area as float connected by a rod to a small area as piston, housed in a pressure vessel to multiply compression of air. The compression of air is directly proportional to the respective surface areas of float to the piston attached with a rod inside the pressure vessel. An array of similar machines can be employed to multiply potential energy output.
