ABSTRACT:
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a plurality of spherical float elements mounted on levers which levers are each mounted for reciprocation along elongated axes thereof substantially vertically thereof to the sea bottom, with interconnected drive shafts for mutually contributing to a common drive, the plurality are arranged with forward and rearwardly and laterally off-set-spaced floats relative to one another and relative to a direction of wave movement from forwardly to rearwardly, such that energy in the form of water pressure waves above and below the water surface are deflected laterally and rearwardly from the forward float elements to the rearward elements to impel against the rearward elements together with the impelling of the normal waves or residual waves also impelling against each of forward and rearward waves, and the process of arranging the plurality of spherical float elements and of harnessing the deflected energy thereby.
