ABSTRACT:
A wave powered pumping system including a floating platform and a plurality of floats hinged about the periphery of the platform. A double acting piston pump is provided on the platform for each float, with the float driving the piston of the pump utilizing both upward and downward movements of the float in a variable stroke operation. Nozzles for water jets may be carried on the platform below the water line to provide positioning and/or propulsion forces for the platform. In one embodiment, the platform is free floating; in another embodiment, the platform moves up and down with the swells and has a telescoping pipe anchor.
