Solar-energy system having at least one solar panel, which is fixed in a frame. In a substantially vertical or upright starting position, the frame keeps the solar panel substantially vertical or upright. The frame here can be tilted out of the starting position, about a substantially horizontal tilting axis extending in the vertically lower region of the solar panel, or about a substantially horizontal tilting axis extending beneath the solar panel, when the solar panel is subjected to a deflecting force in a direction transverse to the tilting axis. As the deflecting force lessens, the frame resets automatically about the tilting axis, for example as a result of a resetting weight, in the direction of the starting position.
The invention relates to a buoyancy body (1) for supporting a floatable structure (50) in a floating manner, wherein the buoyancy body (1) is substantially designed in the shape of a cylinder or a regular prism and has a cover surface (4) substantially perpendicularly to an axis of symmetry (3) of the buoyancy body, said cover surface being equipped with depressions (21) in order to receive a node point (6) of a substantially flat framework-like base structure (2) in a form-fitting manner.

Device for the reversible transfer of linear motion into rotational motion and for the conversion of rotational motion into electrical energy and vice versa. The device comprises a central rail and a support element which surrounds the central rail or is being surrounded by the central rail, the support element being positioned so as to be capable of performing a linear motion relative to the central rail in the longitudinal direction of the central rail. A number of rolling bodies which are in contact with the central rail are rotationally mounted in the support element. The rolling bodies rotate during the linear motion of the support element relative to the central rail in conjunction with the central rail. The linear motion is also connected to the drive or output of an electric machine. The elastically preloaded rolling bodies are arranged so that the central rail is essentially mounted with zero clearance under pressure, whereby the preload forces cancel each other out and are produced by elastically deformed retaining brackets on the support element. The rotations of at least one rolling body form the drive or output of the electric machine.
