Wave Powered Electric Generating Device
The wave powered electric generating device comprises: a plurality of buoyant members capable of floating in a wave-driven water body, wherein one of the buoyant members comprises at least one electric generator, and a transmission system; and interconnecting mechanism for connecting the buoyant members, wherein the transmission system is configured to convert a wave motion of the wave-driven water body to a rotary motion, the transmission system is capable of transmitting the rotary motion to the electric generator for producing electric power.
