ABSTRACT:
An apparatus converting the energy of waves on an open body of water includes a submerged articulated frame or frames formed of rods arranged largely in a parallelogram. The frame or frames are arranged so that as a wave passes the frames, the frames are distorted by having their rods rotate about connecting pivot points and so move toward and away (as well as relative to) from each other. This movement is then converted into energy. In alternate embodiments, multiple interconnected frames are provided, each pivoting in a respective plane.
