ABSTRACT:
An articulated marine structure for an offshore body of water which is subject to wave movement. The structure includes at least two floating elements which are pivotally joined along a common edge to permit relative movement between the respective elements in response to wave action. An energy accumulator is operably connected to the respective floats, and is actuated by movement of either float whereby to initiate conversion of wave energy into an alternate, usable energy form.
