Boat Propelled by Waves Energy

RENEWABLE ENERGY
ENGINE OF NAVIGATION HAS THE ENERGY OF SEA WAVES
Navigating with Sea Waves Energy

The present invention concerns an engine of navigation working in the energy of sea waves, the undulations, the streams etc. Navigating on sea, lake, ocean or any surface of water shaken by waves
the device according to the invention, aims at supplying a means of navigation's appropriate (clean) and easy to have a practice it can be additional in the other means of navigation's.
The device according to the invention allows the navigation. By converting the movements, the oscillations right-left an/dor front-back or high-down. Converted in a Horizontal directional push. These energies have an uncomfortable and unexplored incidence.
This device experimented on a prototype-reduced scale and it works perfectly. I can do the demonstrations.
this device doing the conversion, a part of the oscillations. (Friction, level variations vertical), to a horizontal push
In fact any variation of the boat level, is attenuated and converted to a one way horizontal push.
A similar device is used in aviation's since one century with success. But in an opposite applications. On the airplanes, the power generated by the engines, jet pushing the aircraft foreword, the wings and wings throttle convert a part of this power in a vertical push.

I saw that design in Popular Mechanics in 1966 or 67. They showed a Sunfish type hull with one person on top. They could also make it go by rocking the boat.

There was a 12 Meter tank tested in Canada with bow-mounted wave foil, too.

As always, consult the book of all wisdom: Saunder's "Hydrodynamics in Ship Design" (1957), in which this scheme is discussed.

Dear Mr. Gonzo:
Thanks for your observations. Please can you e. mail me that design
I don't understand WY it is not aplicated up now?. It is so economic and easy to realize,
Best regards,
