ABSTRACT:
A wave-pump apparatus to provide a continuous flow of water from the waves generated along coastal waterways and the like wherein the waves therefrom are funneled into the mouth of the apparatus which is provided with a freely pivoted, flap-valve gate that opens in the direction of the wave flow, allowing water to accumulate within the throat portion thereof, the throat portion having a communicating pressure chamber connected thereto and an outlet conduit position at the terminating end of the throat portion. The outlet conduit is vertically disposed at right angles to the throat portion whereby the force of each succeeding wave, together with the pressurized chamber, causes a continuous flow of water through the conduit to a predetermined destination.
