A Brief Description of a Voltaic Float Platform The Patent consists of a solid platform on the ocean floor with intentionally-studied floats in order to capture the energy from the wave motion and a train of gear wheels that transform the irregular, alternating motion of the waves into a continuous, one-way, rotating motion. The floats have a weight/volume ratio such as to produce a force both at the moment in which the wave rises but also when the wave recedes. This weight/volume ratio is intentionally studied to guarantee a doubling effect in order to be able to provide a more correct rotating linearity to the Generator itself. The floats, connected to a main lever and to a second thrust lever, produce a torsion force on a pinion thanks to a rack. The pinion makes the train of gear wheels turn which allows it to transform the alternating motion of the ocean waves into a continuous, one-way, rotating motion in both thrust directions of the rack.
