ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for producing power from water waves. The apparatus comprises a main pipe having at least one inlet and an outlet. A pump has an inlet to admit ambient water and an outlet that communicates with the inlet of the pipe. A valve controls the inlet to the pump. Another valve controls the outlet to the pump. A buoyancy vessel is attached to the pump. The buoyancy vessel has a slightly positive buoyancy to follow the motion of the waves. Reciprocation of the buoyancy vessel permits water to enter the pump, through the inlet, and then forces water from the outlet into the pipe.
