The invention relates to a device for converting energy generated by ocean swells or waves so as to drive hydraulic pumps , generators and the like which comprises a support frame and a carriage which is movable in said support frame in an upward or downward direction. The carriage has a float member mounted on tracks on the carriage which is subject to impact from the waves from a downward location to upward location and vice versa. Suitably the tracks are curved so that the radius of curvature decreases from the downward location to the upward location. The float member may have linkage means attached to the pump or generator.
