A wave power converter comprising a submerged compressible bag 4 inflated with gas that is attached to a float 1, and supporting a ballast weight 6; as the float rises and falls with the waves, the bag 4 expands and contracts driving the gas to and from the bag to a turbine 8 e.g. a Wells turbine that is connected to the bag 4. Preferably the submerged compressible bag 4 is connected to a second vessel 7 that contains the turbine 8. Alternatively a plurality of submerged bags (24, fig 2) are connected to a float (21, fig 2) where the gas from each bag can move to and fro into a second vessel 33, as the gas moves back and forth the gas drive turbines (33, fig 2) that are placed in the connecting tubes (28, fig 2). |
