ABSTRACT:
A machine for harnessing the motion of ocean waves in order to convert the motion energy into useful electrical power; the machine consisting of a large V-shaped frame, submerged near a beach, having its apex pointed away from the beach, and the frame supporting a series of water turbines connected to an electric generator so that incoming waves toward a beach move along the outer side of the frame while turning the turbine rotors, and outgoing waves moving along the inner side of the frame so to likewise influence turning the turbine rotors.
