초록 ▼

A device for converting the energy of water waves or flowing water into electrical or mechanical energy. The device includes a body or collection chamber with a hydro-turbine located opposite the water entrance and, preferably, a water clear out channel flange located beneath the hydro-turbine and at or upstream of the water exhaust from the device. As the water is channeled by wave facing directional blades and a wave leveler through and exits the hydro-turbine or pump, it has free exit into a water void area which is produced by the deep water, with its own flotation apparatus or moorings, or near shore, held by supports secured to the seabed or other structures. The device also exhibits a "tip up, tip down" synchronous motion as wave fronts advance through and passed the device, which increases the efficiency of the device by accelerating the flow of water therethrough.

What is claimed is: 1. A water energy conversion apparatus comprising: an anchor adapted to be disposed on the bottom of a body of water; a tether connected to the anchor; a body portion defining at least one channel and including an anterior end, a posterior end and a bottom wall, the body portion being connected to the tether at the bottom wall between the anterior and posterior ends, the body portion having at least one float adapted to support the body portion on the surface of the body of water, and wherein the weight of water that enters and flows through the channel causes the posterior end of the body portion to move to a position that is lower than the anterior end of the apparatus, and wherein as water flows through the apparatus the posterior end is located in or approaching a trough of a wave while the anterior end of the apparatus is being lifted by a crest of a wave, such that the body portion temporarily exhibits an angled configuration that accelerates the water as it flows through the channel, the angled configuration being provided by the up and down movement of the anterior and posterior ends about the connection of the tether; at least one hydro-turbine; and at least one clear out channel flange located on the underside of the body at the posterior end thereof, wherein the at least one clear out channel flange creates at least one void area in water surrounding the apparatus; wherein the at least one channel directs water that enters the apparatus through the at least one hydro-turbine and wherein the water exiting the apparatus is deposited into the at least one void area. 2. The water energy conversion apparatus of claim 1 wherein the body portion has an angled configuration such that the channel has a larger cross-section at the entrance to the apparatus and a smaller cross-section at the hydro-turbine. 3. The water energy conversion apparatus of claim 1 wherein the body includes an upper portion and at least one catch plate that extends from the upper portion of the body, wherein the at least one catch plate directs water into the channel. 4. The water energy conversion apparatus of claim 1 wherein the body includes at least one confinement blade that extends outward at an angle to the body, wherein the at least one confinement blade directs water into the channel. 5. The water energy conversion apparatus of claim 4 wherein the body includes at least one side portion and the at least one confinement blade extends from the at least one side portion of the body. 6. The water energy conversion apparatus of claim 1 wherein the at least one hydro-turbine comprises a plurality of hydro-turbines. 7. The water energy conversion apparatus of claim 1 wherein the at least one hydro-turbine comprises a plurality of hydro-turbines and the body portion includes a plurality of channels, wherein each of the plurality of channels includes a hydro-turbine. 8. The water energy conversion apparatus of claim 7 where the at least one clear out channel flange comprises a plurality of clear out channel flanges, wherein each of the plurality of channels corresponds with a clear out channel flange. 9. The water energy conversion apparatus of claim 1 further comprising at least one ballast tank. 10. The water energy conversion apparatus of claim 9 wherein the at least one ballast tank is integral to the body. 11. The water energy conversion apparatus of claim 9 wherein the buoyancy of the at least one ballast tank can be adjusted, such that the distance which the water energy conversion apparatus extends above the surface of the body of water in which the water energy conversion apparatus is located may be adjusted. 12. The water energy conversion apparatus of claim 11 further comprising a computer wherein the computer is programmed to adjust the buoyancy of the at least one ballast tank. 13. The water energy conversion apparatus of claim 1 wherein the at least one float is attached to the body portion and the position of the at least one float on the body portion may be adjusted. 14. The water energy conversion apparatus of claim 1 wherein the at least one float is integral to the body. 15. The water energy conversion apparatus of claim 1 wherein the buoyancy of the at least one float may be adjusted, such that the distance which the water energy conversion apparatus extends above the surface of the body of water in which the water energy conversion apparatus is located may be adjusted. 16. The water energy conversion apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a means to transfer electrical energy from the apparatus to another location. 17. The water energy conversion apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a pump and an outlet tube or pipe for transferring fluid from the apparatus to another location. 18. The water energy conversion apparatus of claim 17 wherein the pump is a reciprocating pump. 19. The water energy conversion apparatus of claim 18 further comprising a support for supporting the water energy conversion apparatus, wherein the body portion includes a bottom wall, and wherein a first end of the pump is attached to the bottom wall of the body and a second end of the pump is attached to the support.
