ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and process for use in converting the energy of ocean waves to useful power form wherein two floats supporting a rigid structure are spaced apart to maximize the end movement of said rigid structure, and an energy extraction device preferably of the cylinder and piston type is operated by the movement of the end of said structure producing movements of four times the wave height when the two floats are spaced one-half the wave length of the wave and the energy conversion device is spaced further away from said floats by a similar amount.
