ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to apparatus for extracting energy from movement of water, particularly sea waves, the apparatus comprising a plurality of buoyant members which are interconnected one with another so as to be movable relative to one another, each buoyant member being provided with a plate or plate-like member which is supported from the buoyant member and positioned so that in use of the apparatus it is submerged below the level of the water, and means are provided for converting the relative movement of the buoyant members into useful energy, such as electricity.
