ABSTRACT:
An electric generating system relying on wave action forces, wherein a shallow reservoir is provided and confined by a cofferdam or silo so as to provide a hydrostatic head between the reservoir and the open body of water exterior to the cofferdam or silo. The hydrostatic head drives turbine generators, and spent water is discharged from the generators into the reservoir. Pump and float assemblies are mounted on the exterior of the cofferdam or silo and function to withdraw water from the reservoir responsive to upwardly directed wave forces thereby maintaining the hydrostatic head.
