1. A power generation apparatus (1, 1a) using wave energy conversion by gravity, comprising:

  • a sealed body (10, 10a) having a receiving space (100) in which a track (11) is disposed;

    a rotor (20, 20a) disposed in the receiving space (100) and comprising an eccentric disk (21, 21a), a plurality of rollers (22, 22a), and a rotating shaft (23, 23a), wherein a center of gravity of the eccentric disk (21, 21a) is disposed with an offset to that of the sealed body (10, 10a), wherein the rollers (22, 22a) are mounted to the eccentric disk (21, 21a) and disposed on the track (11), wherein the rotating shaft (23, 23a) penetrates through the eccentric disk (21, 21a);

    a gear box (30, 30a) comprising at least one gear shaft (31) driven by the rotating shaft (23, 23a) to rotate;

    a power generation motor (40, 40a) driven by the at least one gear shaft (31) to rotate and generate electric power; and

    a pontoon (50, 50a) mounted to the outside of the sealed body (10, 10a).
