Experimental and numerical study of a novel unidirectional mechanical power take-off system for two-body wave energy converters

This paper presents the numerical and experimental evaluations of a new power take-off system to be used in two body point absorber wave energy converters. The proposed power take-off uses a ball screw mechanism to convert the reciprocating motion of the converter bodies, into a unidirectional rotar...
