ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for generating electricity including a chamber with a top opening, anchoring mechanism for positioning the chamber in a body of water with wave movement, mechanism for generating an electrical current disposed within the chamber, and mechanism for transferring the electrical current from the chamber; the chamber including first and second sidewall sections spaced from each other over at least a portion of their surfaces, endwall sections connecting the sidewall sections, the sidewall sections and the endwall sections being connected to each other to form a substantially liquid tight chamber, the anchoring mechanism including mechanism for maintaining the first of the sidewall sections remote from the waves and fixed against movement from the action of the waves, the anchoring mechanism including mechanism for anchoring the second of the sidewall sections in the path of the waves while permitting the second sidewall section to be moved by the action of the waves, the generating mechanism including coil mechanism including an electrically conductive wire, magnet mechanism associated with the coil mechanism and movable with respect thereto, the coil mechanism being affixed to one of the sidewall sections and the magnet mechanism being affixed to the other of the sidewall sections, and the transfer mechanism being connected to the coil mechanism, and biasing mechanism urging the second sidewall section away from the first sidewall section against the action of the waves.
