ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for converting the energy of the ocean's surf into electricity, which comprises a buoyant body that floats on the surface of the water and rises and falls with the waves, at a fixed and predetermined distance from the shore. Fixed securely to the buoyant body, is a horizontally extending shaft, in such a manner that it bears a constant height above the water's surface, regardless of water amplitude variation, and/or height of tide. Connected to the shaft are blades which are rotably mounted. Said blades will intercept the ocean at a point where the surf breaks, and shall receive the energy produced from the breaking wave. Said energy shall be converted into mechanical energy by driving the blades in motion, which in turn rotates the shaft. An electric power generator is drivingly connected to the shaft, whereby producing electricity.
