ABSTRACT:
A wave motor is described comprising a cylinder fixed to a first float, a plunger fixed to a second float, and an anchor secured to the cylinder normally retaining same submerged beneath the sea surface in a vertical position above the sea bottom but permitting it to move in a lateral direction with respect to the sea bottom. The second float is of sufficient volume to float on the surface of the sea, whereby wave crests and wave troughs cause the cylinder to move laterally and the plunger to rise and fall within the cylinder, thereby converting the wave energy to mechanical pumping energy.
