Abstract： In order to solve the power supply problem of small electrical facilities that located scattered at sea and far away from the coastline，considered to satisfy the new requirements in durability，storage，high efficiency，low cost and high security of wave power generation， a new wave generator was proposed，whose box could be fixed in the electrical equipment and swing with it. The generator could be gathered the wave energy by the relative movement between pendulum and the box，and generated electricity by translating the active axis's reciprocating motion to one-way rotation movement of generators located on both sides of the box using the overrunning coupler. The mechanical and electrical design procedure of the new wave generator was described in detail. A case study was evaluated on the actual test. The experimental results show that the new wave generator is reasonable and scientific.
