ABSTRACT:
A wave powered electrical generator includes: a first floating unit that accommodates a power generator therein and adapted to float in water, a second floating unit adapted to float in the water in the vicinity of the first floating unit; and a spring line, one end of which being attached to the second floating unit and the other end of which being operatively connected to the power generator, such that a relative movement between the first floating unit and the second floating unit causes the spring line to rotate a shaft of the generator and generates electrical power.
