ABSTRACT:
The invention discloses devices and methods for converting wave energy to rotational energy. Specifically, the invention allows for two or more flotation elements to move in opposite directions in response to a wave contacting a wave energy transducer according to embodiments of the present invention. Motion of the flotation elements leads to rotation of associated wheel assemblies, thus allowing for generation of rotational energy and by extension, electricity.
