ABSTRACT:
A prime mover has a number of bladed rotors supported on a drive shaft over the surface of a wave-generating body of water for rotating the shafts by action of waves against the rotors. Unique planetary gearing assemblies coupling each rotor to the shaft provide necessary torque conversion for rotating the shaft at the desired speed. In preferred forms, the drive shaft is shiftably supported on a plurality of stationary pylons for up and down movement relative to the surface of the water through the action of a hydraulic lift assembly. A bank of wave height sensors is coupled to a computerized control for the lift assembly to adjust the position of the rotors in response to changes in wave height whereby the prime mover operates at maximum efficiency under the prevailing surf conditions.
