The present invention relates to the exploitation of energy in aquatic waves. In particular, the invention provides a hollow piston wave capture pump, which consists of a hollow piston contained in a buoyant water/air capture unit mounted on a compressor unit, mounted on an adjustable floatation tower, bearing a stability plate, to which mooring ropes and anchors are connected. The advantage of the invention is that the body of the structure remains static while the buoyant water/air capture unit rises with each wave, drawing air into the compressor unit while collecting water from each wave to fill the hollow piston. As the wave retreats, the captured air in the compressor unit or another mechanism delays the descent of the hollow piston so that the downward force of the captured water compresses the air to the maximum extent for immediate exploitation or forces it into storage for exploitation later. <Figure 2> |
