A wave energy converter (200) comprising a buoyant body (201) and an acceleration tube (202) with a working cylinder (203) and working piston (205) movable therein, a mooring system, and at least one energy collecting device (207) including a hydraulic pump in the form of a hydraulic cylinder (212) having a jacket and an internal pump piston (213) connected to at least one piston rod (215, 220), which forms a mechanical connection between the buoyant body (201) and the working piston (205) in the working cylinder (203), wherein at least one float body (216) having a buoyancy in the body of water where the wave energy converter (200) operates is connected to the working piston (205) and wherein the buoyancy of the float body (216) is adapted to maintain the working piston (205) in a desired vertical operating range in the working cylinder (203) when the wave energy converter (200) operates. |
