Floating drum turbine for electricity generation
11549480 · 2023-01-10 ·

A floating drum turbine is used for generating the electrical energy from the kinetic energy of a water stream (sea wave or river flow) that provides the mechanical energy needed to rotate an electrical generator for generating the electricity. The drum turbine is installed on a buoyant skid anchored to the seabed by some chains/ropes to keep it in a fixed position and direction along the water stream. The turbine is coupled to an electrical generator with a power transmission system, and generates the electricity that is transferred to the coast using a cable system floated on the water surface.

A breaking waves power generator includes a platform, a plurality of water wheels rotatably mounted within the platform, and a deck plate mounted within the platform. The water wheels include a plurality of vanes, blades, paddles, or buckets that, when impacted by breaking water waves, cause rotation of the water wheels. Breaking water waves can travel over the deck plate. The deck plate has an angular position and horizontal position relative to the platform that are adjustable to guide the breaking water waves so that the water waves break against the vanes, blades, paddles, or buckets of the water wheels, causing rotation of the water wheels from which power is generated. A ramp is connected to the platform in front of the water wheels, over which water is guided to the platform so that water waves break against the water wheels.

POWER-ADJUSTABLE WAVE POWER GENERATOR

Disclosed is a power-adjustable wave power generator, comprising a support platform (1), a power generator (2), a rotary shaft (3), an impeller rod (4), a blade frame (6), blades (7), a synchronous movement mechanism and a lifting mechanism. The power generator (2) is arranged on the support platform (1) and connected to the support platform (1). The impeller rod (4) is radially connected to the rotary shaft (3). The blade frame (6), which is provided with several blades (7), is slidably connected to the impeller rod (4). The synchronous movement mechanism adjusts the distance of the frame (6) relative to the rotary shaft (3). The lifting mechanism adjusts the angle of the blades. The power generator can not only effectively generate power under the condition of small waves, but also can adjust extracted energy according to a full load of power generation when a wave force remains unchanged, and can automatically prevent a disaster under the condition of a catastrophic climate.
