Claims

4. Device according to claim 3, characterized in that the electrical circuit (25) further comprises an inverter (27), disposed in the upper compartment (18).

5. Device according to any one of claims 3 to 4, characterized in that the electrical circuit (25) further comprises a battery (31) for storing electrical energy.

6. Device according to any one of claims 3 to 5, characterized in that the electrical circuit (25) comprises two electrical connectors (28) for each pole of the electrical circuit.

7. Device according to any one of claims 1 to 6, characterized in that the intermediate partition (17) is placed at a predetermined distance from the lower face (12) so that the level of a waterline of the device (1) on water is located below the level of the intermediate partition.

8. Device according to any one of claims 1 to 7, characterized in that the watertight box (10) includes at least one access hatch (24) adapted to seal watertight an opening in the watertight box leading into the upper compartment (18).

9. Device according to claim 8, characterized in that said access hatch (24) is disposed above the level of a waterline of the device (1) on water.

10. Device according to any one of claims 1 to 9, characterized in that the caisson (10) includes at least one anchoring point (16). [Fig. 1] [Fig. 2]
