ABSTRACT:
A counter-rotating turbine for converting energy from waves. A turbine is positioned in a pneumatic-type wave energy converter and converts the energy of alternating air flow above the internal water surface into mechanical energy. The turbine has counter-rotating runners and guide vanes located both upstream and downstream, and the alternating air flow in the energy converter excites the turbine runners after being turned by the guide vanes.
