ABSTRACT:
A pumping apparatus actuated by waves in a large body of water for pumping water to a remote location. The pumping apparatus is bouyant and comprises a barge structure carrying a compression system having a plurality of pumping units disposed substantially colinearly along the length of the barge structure. The pumping units are actuated by float members which rise and fall responsive to waves in the water body in which the pumping apparatus is disposed. To this end, each of the float members is connected to a piston head of one of the pumping units through a linkage system. Actuation of the piston heads serves to force water under pressure through a suitable discharge pipe to a remote location such as a reservoir where the water can be converted into a usable form of energy.
