Apparatus for harnessing wave energy

摘要: Apparatus for harnessing wave energy comprises a buoyant support structure with various pumps to be operated by the action or reaction from action. One type of pump is actuated disc that depends depth below apparatus, and hollow air-filled so as have buoyancy close zero, responds actuating piston within an upright cylinder. Vertical flaps, some which depend downwardly others extend upwardly, respond horizontal actuate further pumps. A third form utilization pendulums mounted swinging movement about vertical axes, whose inertia upon actuates The can transmitted shore either fluid (air water) pumped pumps, electrical through cable, generator on apparatus. In event, cable conduit extends down along anchor chain, then shore.
