MERMAID TECHNOLOGY   ~  MECHANICAL CONVERSION

25 kW Electric Power Plants from near shore waves

Mechanical Conversion to Electricity Production

Location​​​​​​​​​​​

     Fixedly connected to top of Point Absorber Motive Float

     structure.  Is located inside the octagonal fiberglass

     cover that appears above the water surface.​​​​​​​​​​

Description​​​​​​​​​​​

     Converts reciprocating kinetic-mechanical energy from

     the motive float into uni-directional rotational kinetic-

     mechanical energy using chains and one way clutches to

     drive a large flywheel which due to its diameter and the

     force of the reciprocating kinetic-mechanical energy

     obtained from the waves has enough torque to enable

     high speed electric generators to be turned efficiently

     after the slow rotational speed in the flywheel has been 

     increased to run the generators.​

This Mermaid Power electric generation is made efficiently possible by exploiting the density property of sea water which is over 800 times more dense than air (as in windmills).

For example: the energy force in a cubic meter of sea water moving 1 meter in 1 second has over 800 times the kinetic energy contained in a cubic meter of air moving 1 meter in 1 second.
