ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for producing electricity from moving water, such as ocean waves, by converting the wave motion to electricity, the apparatus including a platform, structural tubes, a piston and a float base, where the electricity producing devices may be located on the platform and may be protected from the elements. The wave movement, up and down, between crest and trough causes movement of the piston, and the movement may be used to generate electricity when the piston is coupled with one or more electrical generating devices, such as a generator.
