ABSTRACT:
A wave power apparatus includes a plurality of buoyant elongate body members, at least one adjacent pair of body members being interconnected by a linkage unit to form an articulated chain. Each body member of said pair is connected to the respective linkage unit by linkage means permitting relative rotation of the body members. A power extraction means, being located substantially within each linkage unit, is adapted to resist and extract power from the relative rotation.
