<p>Disclosed herein is a device for harnessing wave energy. The device comprises at least one cylinder assembly. The cylinder assembly comprises a tubular member with first and second ends, a reciprocal piston assembly slidingly associated with the tubular member and adapted to move reciprocally between the first and second ends of the tubular member, and a tubular member entry one-way valve at the second end of the tubular member. The reciprocal piston assembly comprises an inner portion located inside the tubular member and comprising a piston one-way valve, and a buoyant outer portion located outside the tubular member. The outer portion is magnetically connected to the inner portion such that reciprocal movement of the outer portion along the outside of the tubular member causes a fluid to be drawn into and driven through the tubular member.</p> |
