    Apparatus for converting ocean surface wave energy into useful rotational kinetic energy. A refractive horn and ramp provides reflectionless impedance transformation of ocean surface wave energy at the input to the system. Wave energy, in the form of breakers, which are massive pulses of essentially pure kinetic energy, from the output of the horn/ramp are then smoothed and transformed directly to mechanical rotation. Smoothing is accomplished by the inertial properties of a "liquid flywheel". The rotational kinetic energy may be extracted by means of a turbine to provide useful work. Discharged water is returned to the ambient ocean through a low terminal velocity diffuser. The entire structure may be located offshore and the discharged fluids may be used for auxiliary purposes.

    This invention relates to hydropower and may be used in hydraulic engines.
    A motor driven by winds is known, comprising an inclined curved tube with open upper and lower ends, a device for receiving waves in the upper part of the tube, a device for lifting the medium in the lower part of the tube, and a tube in the tube.
    A disadvantage of this device is the low efficiency due to the unfavorable conditions for the inlet and outlet of the medium from the pipe and insufficient use of the weight of the working fluid in the inclined pipe.
    A wave-driven engine is known, comprising a platform, a vertical tube with open upper and lower ends floating on the surface of the water, a device for receiving waves in the lower part of the tube, a device for discharging the medium in its upper part, and turbines placed in the tube z.
    The disadvantage of this design is the low efficiency due to the unfavorable conditions of swelling and medium injection and the vertical direction of movement of the working medium from the bottom up so that the weight of the working fluid does not create useful work.
    A motor driven by winds is known, comprising a vertical pipe with open upper and lower ends, a device for receiving waves in the upper part of the pipe, a device for discharging medium in its lower part and a turbine housed in the pipe h.
    A disadvantage of the known construction is the low efficiency due to the unfavorable conditions for the inlet and outlet of the medium.
    The purpose of the invention is to increase the efficiency by providing impedance matching conditions.
    This goal is achieved by the fact that in an engine driven by waves, created by wind, containing a vertical pipe with open upper and lower ends, a device for receiving waves in the upper part of the pipe is a device for releasing the medium in its lower part and a turbine. in the pipe, last supplied
    the wife is reinforced along the perimeter of its upper open end with an impedance- matching hemispherical shell, convex upward and
    5 placed symmetrically with respect to the pipe axis, and the device for receiving waves is made in the form of guide vanes mounted on the shell, placed around the open top
    0 the end of the pipe, while the device for release of the medium is made in the form of a slot diffuser, communicated with the lower open end of the pipe, and its bottom wall is located in the plane of the horizontal section of the hemispherical shell.
    FIG. 1 shows schematically a floating engine driven by waves, a cross section;
    20 in FIG. 2 — ray paths and wave fronts; in fig. 3 shows section A-A in FIG. one; in fig. 4 is a graph showing the usual energy spectrum of ocean waves and swell; on
    25 of FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the engine installed under operating conditions.
    A motor driven by wind waves contains a vertical pipe 1 with an open upper 2 and lower 3 ends, a device 4 for receiving waves in the upper part of pipe 1, a device 5 for releasing the medium in the lower part of pipe 1
    and a turbine 6 located inside the pipe 1, the latter is provided with an impedance-matching hemispherical shell 7 facing the reinforced along the perimeter of its upper open end 2
    upwardly convex and placed symmetrically with respect to the axis of the pipe 1, and the device 4 for receiving waves is made in the form of guided blades 8 mounted on the shell 7 placed around the open upper end
    2 pipes 1, while the device 5 for the release of the medium is made in the form of a slot diffuser 9, communicated with the lower open end 3 of the pipe, and
    The bottom wall 10 is located in the plane of the horizontal slice 11 of the hemispherical shell 7, and the turbine 6 is mounted on the power take-off shaft 12.
    The proposed engine works as follows.
    The waves created by the wind, horizontally moving, incident on
    the shell 7 and enter the device 4 for receiving waves, executed in the form of guide vanes 8 mounted on the shell, changing the direction of movement, the working flow enters the vertical pipe L and rotates the turbine 6 transmitting the rotation to the power take-off shaft 12 and goes out through the slot diffuser 9.
    The energy is in the form of propagating vibrational waves, the reflection or non-reflection of energy depends on whether there is an impedance matching or impedance mismatch at the interface. The invention uses a design that is equivalent in surface waves to an acoustic horn, which is designed to collect and concentrate the energy of propagating surface waves. For any given wave with a maximum period, a horn shape can be created, which provides the necessary impedance matching between the inlet and the horn neck. The shape of the outer surface of the shell 7 is an impedible transducer that can be considered as an analogue of an acoustic horn. This can be seen by looking at the cross-sectional shape, limited by the neutral water level, and the radial section through the shell 7.
    The speed of surface waves varies inversely with local depth. As a result, surface waves are refracted, which means that their direction of propagation always has a strong tendency towards smaller places. Since the shell 7 has a corresponding shape, made in accordance with the impedance matching conditions, it can completely capture the approaching front of the wolfs, equal to its own diameter.
    and convert this whole wave front into a ridge wave, which is located around the whole shell 7. Thus, the latter performs both a concentrating function and a burrowing function.
    The geometry of the proposed device is such that it provides some smoothing of the input pulse.
    Large primary waves of motion flow radially inward. Using guide vanes 8, these waves are converted into a tangential flow, flowing into a vertical pipe 1. The turbine 6, operating on an axial flow, located inside a vertical pipe, is designed in such a way that not entirely energy is extracted from the vortexed water flow. A small residual amount of vortex goes to the activation of the exhaust device - slot diffuser.
    The outlet slit diffuser 9 is infill-free and is located radially at the lower end 3 of the vertical pipe 1. Residual swirling in one direction or another creates a radial outflow, and this flow creates a reduced pressure at the lower end 3 of the vertical pipe 1. Thus, the diffuser 9 actually has a tendency to pump out water from the vertical pipe I and reduce the water level in it. Optimization of the system is achieved when the level in the vertical pipe is lowered just enough to fully receive the inlet volume. With this design, the level of operation of the fluid at the upper end 2 of the vertical pipe 1 can be located just on. it, the trawl level of the ocean surface.
    The use of the invention will improve the efficiency as well as the reliability and durability of the engine due to the improved hydrodynamics of the workflow.
