ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for converting water wave movement into power. A float is located in a body of water, and the apparatus converts the up and down movement of that float caused by waves in the water to operate a pump to displace hydraulic fluid through a hydraulic pumping station which actuates fluid motors, or the like to produce power. The force of the float movement is multiplied by a mechanical advantage so that the pump displaces the hydraulic fluid on both the upward and downward movement of the float even in calm water. A plurality of modules are interconnected to take advantage of as much of a wave front as desired.
