ABSTRACT:
The preferred embodiment of the invention is a wave powered generator including a "Hagen" float array comprising a plurality of floats each of which is coupled to a subsea support structure through a nonlinear power extraction means. The array may be moved below the surface to avoid adverse sea states. Individual array elements are sized and positioned on the support structure to permit fluid coupling of reflected wave energy between the floats.
