The invention comprises a wave fluid compressor which consists essentially of a resonant cavity or whistle. As fluid flows within the cavity, pressure waves of high and low pressure are created. Specifically, when a high pressure compression wave is stopped at the closed end of the resonant cavity and then reversed the pressure doubles as the kinetic energy of the wave is converted into potential energy of pressure. When a high pressure compression wave exits from the cavity, it is followed by a rarefaction wave which flows to the closed end of the tube, reverses, and returns to be followed by another high pressure compression wave. In combination with the resonant cavity the invention further comprises check valves at the closed ends of the tube so that a portion of the high pressure may be withdrawn from one check valve, and a portion of the low pressure may be withdrawn through another check valve so as to provide an amplified differential pressure. The invention also comprises a taper within the resonant cavity such that the differential pressure is further increased thereby. The differential pressure extracted from the resonant chamber is utilized to move a mechanical load such as for moving a mechanical piston or the like.
