ABSTRACT:
A breakwater for breakwater for breaking the force of waves to protect harbors and beaches and generating electrical power from the waves. The breakwater includes a sloped front wall so that the waves break upwardly along the wall. One or more passages extend through the breakwaver to a lower elevation on the harbor side. Paddle wheels or turbines are disposed in said passages. The force of the waves drives water through said passages and the receding water falling down the face of the wall flows through said passages to provide power to drive the paddle wheel or turbine which, in turn, is connected to drive a generator.
