ABSTRACT:
A wave motion power generating system comprised of a floating buoy attached to a pump which pumps water from a container submerged below water level. The pump removes water from the container creating a hydrostatic head which can be used to draw water through a drive system for operating a power generator. The buoy may be in the form of a cylindrical ring mounted on the leg of an ocean platform with the pump being a cylindrical container also mounted on a leg well below the surface of the ocean. The motion created by ocean waves moves the buoy up and down operating the pump to create a void in a tank submerged well below the ocean surface, thus creating the hydrostatic head. This hydrostatic head can be used to drive a turbine which in turn operates a power generator.
