ABSTRACT:
A device for conversion of sea wave energy comprises partially inflated bag-like enclosures formed from flexible impermeable material. The enclosures are connected via non return valves to a high pressure conduit and a low pressure return conduit so as to act as an air pump or bellows as the sea rises and falls around the enclosures. A turbine extracts energy from the high pressure conduit, the exhaust returning to the low pressure return conduit.
