Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012171599A1] The invention relates to a wave energy converter (1, 10, 20, 30) for converting energy from a wave motion of a fluid into a different form of energy, comprising at least one rotor which is coupled to at least one energy converter (8) and which has a rotor base (2) that has two sides with respect to the rotational plane of the rotor. At least one coupling body (3) is attached to each side of the rotor base (2).
