·
OSTI ID:5390614
Apparatus is disclosed for generating power from wave action comprising a barge and at least one float connected thereto by rigid members pivotally connected thereto by sockets. A watertight cylinder including a piston is attached to the barge. Cables connect with the piston and pass through pulleys to the barge. As the wave action rocks the float relative to the barge the piston is moved longitudinally in the cylinder to pump water used for driving a turbine for generating electrical power. Wind vanes and water vanes are also included in the float to enhance the rocking action.
