ABSTRACT:
A water pressurizing unit for generating high pressure water by utilizing the water weight changes caused by the presence of a wave crest or wave trough directly above the apparatus. The apparatus is positioned under the surface of a body of water having waves and has a plunger having a flat disk at its upper end. The plunger moves vertically with respect to a rigidly mounted cylinder, which defines a fluid chamber having a cross sectional area less than the surface area of the flat disk. A conduit, in fluid communication with the fluid chamber, conducts water from the body of water to the fluid chamber and pressurized water to a collection tank. Inlet and outlet check valves insure that fluid does not flow from the collection tank to the fluid chamber, or from the fluid chamber to the water source. Preferably, a plurality of such units are arranged hydraulically in parallel with one another. In this embodiment, a single collection tank collects pressurized fluid from the individual units.
