ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for converting oscillation motions such as those of ocean waves into a constant torque, comprises: a stationary frame 1 fixedly mounted on a floor of an apparatus's carrier such as marine vessels; a pair of horizontal rotating axles 3, 5 substantially perpendicular to each other, one 3 of which axles 3, 5 is rotatably mounted on the stationary frame 1 while the other 5 is rotatably mounted on the first one 3; swinging pendulums 2, 7a, 7b each of which is fixedly mounted on each of the rotating axles 3, 5 for driving the rotating axles 3, 5 under the influence of the extrinsic oscillation motions to which the swinging pendulums 2, 7a, 7b are subjected; one-way clutches 8a, 8b, 22 and 17 mounted on each of the rotating axles 3, 5 and an auxiliary axle 15 for converting rotation of each of the axles 33, 5 into a unidirectional rotation of each of the one-way clutches 8a, 8b, 22 and 17; and a gear train 13, 25, 26 29 for combining the rotations of the one-way clutches 8a, 8b, 22 and 17 into a rotation of a torque-output shaft 28.
