ABSTRACT:
A wave motor for propulsion of a floating device, especially a watercraft, comprises a downwards extending supporting structure connected to the craft. An essentially horizontally disposed, plate-like tilting element, at a forwrad portion thereof as viewed in the cruising direction, is pivotally connected to the lower end of the supporting structure. This arrangement results in a tilting movement as a result of relative movement between the tilting element and the surrounding water when the craft is floating on the water and is raised and lowered due to wave action, the tilting movement being limited by upper and lower stops arranged on the supporting structure. The supporting structure is arranged to effect an essentially vertical, relative movement in relation to the craft, and is maintained in an intermediate position and returned to this position when it has been moved away from the intermediate position by influence of wave forces.
