ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for using same for extracting energy from waves, including near-shore waves by imparting momentum to an energy roller or energy car. The energy roller or car is moved along a flexible floating belt by the action of waves on the shape of the flexible floating belt. The invention also provides for a hydrodynamically shaped float to be driven along a rigid floating structure by the action of a wave at the rear of the float.
