20140232116 | HEAVE PLATES THAT PRODUCE LARGE RATES OF CHANGE IN TETHER TENSION WITHOUT GOING SLACK, AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Apparatuses and associated methods for converting wave energy into electrical energy are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a surface-based buoy can be connected to a magnetostrictive element that changes its output voltage when subjected to the in tension. To keep the heave plate under tension, a tether with a heave plate can be attached to the magnetostrictive element. Since the magnetostrictive element can be sensitive to zero tension (e.g., a slack in the tether) followed by a sudden increase in the tension, in at least some embodiments it is preferred to keep the magnetostrictive element tensioned at all times. In some embodiments of the present technology, an inertia-dominated heave plate may be designed to sink faster than the buoy falls in the trough of the wave, therefore keeping the tether tensioned at all times. For example, the design (e.g., mass, diameter, height) of the heave plate can be such that the static force of gravity S exceeds a sum of the drag D and inertia I under expected wave conditions. | 08-21-2014 |
