A wave powered boat is made of a series of linked sections, which move relative to each other when exposed to waves. The power of this relative motion is transferred to systems which propel the boat. Various methods of producing propulsion are described including hydraulic cylinders or bellows (figure 3) for driving a propeller or producing a jet, paddles attached to and moved by the sections (figures 4-5), cable transmission of force (figure 6), direct drive of a generator (figure 7) and driving a rotating, flexible shaft (figure 8). |
