ABSTRACT:
A motor, preferably in the form of a pump, is primarily designed to be activated by the oscillating motion of waves and has a paddle disposed to oscillate about a stationary horizontal axis located in the plane of the paddle. The paddle is placed in the surf and so positioned where the wave action is greatest so that the force of the waves can act on the paddle to cause the paddle to oscillate back and forth, one cycle with each wave. Preferably, the paddle is disposed to depend from the stationary axis. This oscillating motion of the paddle is coupled to a suitable pump which pumps sea water. Preferably, the pump has a cylindrical housing concentric with the stationary axis. A radial vane is fixed to a shaft within the housing while the paddle is fixed to the shaft and disposed outside the housing. Suitable valves are provided in the housing to allow sea water to enter and exit under action of the oscillating vane.
