ABSTRACT:
A machine for converting ocean wave energy to electrical energy. A long rigid beam is supported intermediate the ends by a pivot which is supported from the earth by a platform. One end of the beam extends outwardly toward the ocean. A circular float is supported from the outer end of the beam by a universal joint. The inner end of the beam at the end opposite the float is a connection to hydraulic or fluid pumps which produces hydraulic fluid or fluids under pressure in response to the wave motion on the float. This power, hydraulic fluid or fluids drives an electrical generator.
