Abstract
A wave power system for extracting energy from water waves, The wave power system includes a basic structure comprising at least one straight track section; at least one effector movably engaged with said basic structurer and adapted for being moved by water waves along said straight track section in a travelling length between two stop locations; and an energy harvesting arrangement arranged for harvesting energy from said relative movements between said energy collector and said basic structurer. The effector includes a backbone structure comprising at least one support shaft having a support shaft axis. At least one winglet comprising a compliant portion is rooted to the support shaft and is turnable between operation modes comprising an acceleration mode an intermediate mode and a deceleration mode relative to the support shaft axis.
