ABSTRACT:
A device for extracting energy from wave energy and comprising a plurality of chambers adapted for pressurizing and discharging a working gas, means for collecting the pressurized working gas, and a mechanical device such as an air turbine to which the collected pressurized working gas is conducted to extract energy therefrom and drive a device such as an electric generator.
The pressurized working gas may be collected in a duct which connects the chambers in parallel relationship and is provided with means for applying a smoothing pressure to smooth out pressure fluctuations of the pressurized working gas. Alternatively, the chambers may be connected together in series relationship so that the pressurized working gas from one chamber is collected by an adjacent chamber as it progresses along the series to the mechanical device.
