Le batteur. Un corps mobile autour d'un axe «bat» autour d'une position moyenne à la fréquence de la houle [...] [Ce] dispositif [a été] expérimenté en laboratoire par M. Salter en Grande-Bretagne. La partie arrière du batteur a un rayon constant, le déplacement d'eau est donc nul et la partie arrière ne rayonnera pas de nouvelle vague. La forme de la partie avant a été choisie pour suivre au mieux la décroissance de la taille des orbites des particules d'eau en fonction de la profondeur. Le rendement du dispositif a atteint 90 % à la résonance au laboratoire, mais reste supérieur à 50 % pour une large bande de fréquences.  1, record 3, French, - batteur
