Abstract
A uniaxial power converting apparatus includes a floating unit into which the kinetic energy of waves is inputted and which is moored at sea by a wire, a direction change unit for changing a direction of the wire, and a power conversion module for transmitting the tension of the wire to a generator. The power conversion module can transmit a driving force to a power shaft to which the generator is connected from a drum around which the wire is wound.
