<p>An apparatus for generating energy from waves is disclosed, the apparatus comprising a buoyant vessel having a normally vertical orientation and able to be displaced from the normally vertical orientation by rotation about an axis other than a vertical axis by the motion of a wave; a body retained by the vessel but moveable with respect to the vessel, the body having a first position corresponding to the normally vertical orientation of the vessel to which it is biased under gravity, the body being moveable relative to the first vessel to stay in or return to the first position when the vessel is displaced from the normally vertical orientation; and means for generating energy coupled to generate energy by the relative movement between the vessel and the body. The body is most preferably a mass of liquid that is free to flow within a cavity in the vessel.</p> |
