ABSTRACT:
A system for generating energy from sea or ocean waves flowing toward a shore, comprises a channel or a container and a slanting structure constructed above the surface of the sea. The slanting structure is located in the way of waves toward the channel or container so the waves are lifted along the slanting structure wherein the wave energy is transformed into a generally homogenous flow. The water flow enters the channel or container to fill it to a level higher than sea level. Preferably, the slanting structure is placed in a location where the horizontal distance between adjacent waves is twice the depth (vertical distance) between the adjacent waves.
