ABSTRACT:
Several impeller chambers are disposed in spaced relationship within a rectangular casing whose interior communicates with the air. The casing and a U-shaped bank having two legs bridged by the casing are partly submerged in the sea to define a sea-water pool between them communicating with the outer sea water only through sea-water channels located on the lower portions of the impeller chambers. Sea waves overflowing the projecting bank portion flow into the pool and then through the sea-water channels to rotate impellers disposed in the chambers to operate air cylinders disposed outside each chamber. The air cylinders compress air to produce a high pressure air that is, in turn, transported through a common pipe to an adjacent shore to be converted to an electrical energy.
