ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a device for extracting energy from waves and having a pump arranged to be operated by relative motion between members of the device in response to waves. The pump according to the invention has a pump body with a flexible portion extending between the members so as to define a pump chamber having a volume which varies as a result of the aforesaid relative motion. In one form of the invention the pump body is provided by a tubular bellows comprising elastomeric material. A plurality of such pumps may be disposed between the members, each pump being activated by said relative motion.
