ABSTRACT:
A collection device for energy from water with wave motion has working fluids, a number of pumping units and accumulators interconnected together, and valves to regulate the fluid flow. Each pumping unit has a chamber with an intake port connected to an accumulator, an exhaust port connected to another accumulator, and an outlet to the water. The working fluid in the chamber is in contact with the water, or is partitioned from the water by a flexible membrance or a piston. The pressure from the wave motion of the water pumps the working fluid from one accumulator to another with certain pressure or elevation increase. The working fluid gains suitable pressure or elevation increase through several stages of pumping units.
