<p>The invention provides a sea swell electricity generation apparatus (10) which includes a concrete block (12) which acts as a pivot support, said block (12) having a first portion (14) anchorable to the sea bed, approximately 30m below sea level, and a second portion (16) on which a pivot mechanism (18) is supported. The second portion (16) is pyramidal in shape. An arm (20) is pivotally supported by the pivot mechanism (18) which arm is divided in a length ratio of 2:1 by said mechanism with a float (22) being mounted on the end portion (24) of the arm (20) further from the pivot mechanism (18) and a pump actuator (26) is connected to the other end (28) of the arm (20) so that, when the end portion (24) of the arm (20) is urged up and down due to sea swell action on the float (22), water (30) is pumped by a pump (32) operatively connected to the actuator (26) in response to the wave action, and, in Figure (3), a turbine (34) for using the water (30) pumped by the pump (32) for use in generating electricity by driving generator (35). The turbine electricity generator (34) is in flow communication with an outlet of the pump (33) so that water (30) pumped through the turbine generates electricity before being discharged.</p> |
