ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is provided for converting the motion of waves in a body of water to a usable form, including a support structure, a lever arm pivotally supported from the support structure, and a buoy fixed to one end of the lever arm and positioned on the body of water. A lift-force pump is attached to the lever arm and actuated by the movement of the lever arm of the body of water. The pump, the lever arm and the buoy are designed such that the buoy is substantially submerged in the body of water by ascending waves before a sufficient buoyance force is applied by the water to the buoy to drive the pump thereby making more efficient use of the buoyance force on the buoy.
