ABSTRACT:
In a nodding duck for extracting power from waves on water, a control system is incorporated for generating a feedback force related to one or more of the parameters of movement, viz. the displacement position, velocity or acceleration of the duck. The relationship between the feedback force and the parameter is chosen to control the response of the duck for example to enhance the coupling between waves and the duck over a broader range of wave frequencies than would be practicable in the absence of the control system.
