Abstract:
Ocean waves are a huge, renewable energy resource, and the potential for extracting energy from waves is high. So a lot of different systems have been designed but most of them are hydraulically and have a lot of problems and they are very complex. In this thesis, the mechanism designed is purely mechanical and very simple and innovative. It has some gears in special combination with together. The mechanism can convert any form of oscillation to rotation movement; this event has been shown in results and prototype. According to the results and discussion, Designed mechanism needs very low maintenance and has low lost. So, efficiency is between 80-95%
