<p>The invention provides a system for transformation of ocean wave energy into useful energy. The system comprises: a lengthened flexible member capable of conforming to the shape of an ocean wave, and a rigid frame. The flexible member is harnessed on its extremities to the rigid frame. The harnessing allows the flexible member to contact ocean waves and to rise and fall in response to movement of the waves. A mechanical component is included for moving in response to movement of the flexible member. The mechanical component is coupled to and activates a useful device. Winching means may be present for rolling and unrolling the flexible member so as to adapt its operable length to correspond to the wavelength of ocean waves. Mooring means are included for anchoring the system to a specific oceanic location.</p> |
