ABSTRACT:
A wave motor is comprised of two or more parallel rotors having apertured radial paddle elements with hinged flaps or blades covering the apertures such that upon the impingement of water upon one side of the paddles the blades cover the apertures and the wheel is turned, but upon impingement of water against the other side of the paddles the blades swing open. Each pair of rotors are coaxially mounted and designed for rotation in opposite directions to maximize extracted power regardless of the predominant current direction, and a single take off shaft is coupled to the rotors through a ratchet and gear mechanism.
