TL;DR: In this paper, a wave power generator consisting of a buoyancy body portion, a solar panel generating power, and a connection cable connected to the center in a lower portion of the buoyance body is described.
Abstract: According to the present invention, a wave power generator comprises: a buoyancy body portion having a buoyancy body, a solar panel generating power, and a connection cable connected to the center in a lower portion of the buoyancy body; and a power generation device having a housing body, a coil, a weight, a shaft, a housing body cover, an electromagnet, and a restoring spring. Therefore, vertical energy of a wave is not converted to rotation power or other different forms, but the vertical energy of a wave itself produces an electric current as electromagnetic induction of the electromagnet performing a vertical movement, thereby more efficiently producing power without loss of energy.

15 Mar 2012TL;DR: In this article, a wave power generator includes a weight that is installed in a floating body via a spring and linearly reciprocates in response to a fluctuation of a water surface and a generator that generates power by being driven based on the linear reciprocating motion of the weight.
Abstract: Provided is a wave-power generator capable of adjusting a natural period (natural frequency) in response to a changing wave period. The wave-power generator includes a weight that is installed in a floating body via a spring and that linearly reciprocates in response to a fluctuation of a water surface and a generator that generates power by being driven based on the linear reciprocating motion of the weight. An additional-mass body for adding a mass to the mass of the weight is further included.
