Abstract

This paper discussed a new method of wave energy conversion (WEC), with a pump-based system simulating the function of heart pump. First, developments of wave energy conversion technology will be introduced. Then the mechanisms of animate heart, artificial heart and pump structure in the WEC device will be analyzed respectively. Thirdly, the relationship between wave forces and geometric figure is studied, the energy calculation is discussed, and the power and efficiency of the device is investigated. Fourthly, a design based on artificial heart pump technique is put forward and its feasibility is reviewed. At last, a feasible way of mass application of the WEC device is discussed.
