<p>The present invention describes several fluid pumping apparatuses (100, 100a-100h) and their applications (200a-200f) in extracting energy from waves or flowing currents. The pumping apparatuses (100, 100a-100h) are driven by a float (110), an oscillating pontoon (210), and oscillating paddle (213), an impeller (214), a vertical rotary wheel (218) or a pendulum member (220). The pumped fluid (water and/or air) is supplied to drive a fluid motor M or a turbine T, which in turn operates a generator G to produce electric power.</p> |
