Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2864586A1] The device has a rectangular floating platform buoy subjected to oscillation-pivoting inclinations around its vertical axis by oscillations of roll and pitch of ocean wave. The inclinations allow a helical water elevator (21) to raise water up to a reservoir (23) from where it is driven to a hydroelectric turbine (25). The platform buoy has stabilizers, and a housing (2) situated between pitch levers and a roll lever.
