The lower part of the protective cover 10 is hemispherical and extends beyond the bottom surface of the buoy 5. A plurality of through holes 12 are circumferentially and equally spaced on the lower part of the protective cover 10.

[0045] On the top surface of the pendulum fixing plate 19, a housing 18 is fixedly connected. The housing 18 is arranged in a hemispherical shape, and the swinging block 17 is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the housing 18.

[0046] In an implementable solution, the anchoring mechanism includes a plurality of connecting rods 6. One end of each connecting rod 6 is connected to the bottom surface of the floating cylinder 5.

[0048] Working principle:

[0049] Put the device of the present invention into a predetermined position in the ocean. The ship anchor 9 sinks to the seabed to anchor the floating cylinder 5. During the day, the hemispherical photovoltaic module 2 generates electricity under the action of solar thermal radiation and supplies power to the storage battery 21. At the same time, seawater flushes the pendulum 13. The pendulum 13 drives the swinging block 17 to swing, and the swinging block 17 cuts the magnetic field to generate electricity and supplies power to the storage battery 21.
