Abstract
The stable floating platform is constituted from (as shown in FIG. 1) four peripheral floaters (2) and one central (1) connected to each other with tubular grid (3). On top of the central floater a metal tower (4) is supported, with a wind generator (5). In the interior of the central floater (as shown in FIG. 2) a desalination unit (6) is installed with the essential equipment, the batteries and the control equipment (7). The peripheral floaters have the ability to store and input-output water, altering in this way the natural frequency of the structure (platform), avoiding thus resonance with the sea waves. The control of the water is made with valves that feed compressed air into the compartment that contains water, regulating thus the volume of the water in the cylinders. The floating structure presents only limited oscillations under sea waves and so it is possible for the wind generator (and/or the desalination unit) to operate on it.
