ABSTRACT:
This disclosure pertains to a plurality of individual floats, each connected to an individual shaft. A pier is provided which supports the shafts in a substantially vertical direction. The shafts are free to move vertically as the floats rise and descend in accordance with the waves and tides at the ocean front. Each shaft is connected to a rotary hydraulic pump which is caused to rotate as the float ascends and descends. The pump in turn charges a tank with oil at high pressure, which in turn is fed to an engine. The engine drives an electric generator.
