ABSTRACT:
An apparatus powered by waves to generate hydraulic energy that includes a housing structure, an inlet portion, a central channel, an outlet portion and floater assemblies positioned within the channel. Within the housing structure the different components are installed. The inlet has an open end that is constrained at the point where it meets the central channel. Several floating assemblies are contiguously aligned and exposed to the movements caused by the waves running through the channel. The floaters include a hingedly mounted arm and a distal end. The arm is rotably mounted to a fixed point in the housing. The rotational movement is transmitted to a reciprocating piston of a hydraulic system that generates pressurized fluid fed to a hydraulic line. A number of hydraulic storage devices are provided to store the hydraulic energy. A manifold assembly is connected to these storage devices to provide the necessary energy for hydraulic turbine generators of electricity.
