The waves of the sea, move a float 1 vertically upwards and downwards. This motion is transferred and converted to rotational energy along a horizontal shaft 8. The float 1, an empty plastic sphere filled with ballast 11, floats half-immerged and moves the vertical metal beam 2, the length of which can be increased or decreased in order to deal with the tidal changes. The beam 2, attached with knuckle joints to the ends of a biparallel metal lever 3, transfers the vertical motion to the other end, to the saw 5, with the attached and vertically moving due to the biparallel lever chains 6, which rotate two gears, each chain to the diametrically opposite side of each gear, so that in every up/down movement, one gear is producing action while the other moves freely 20. The gears rotate the horizontal shaft 8 which is fitted on them and the horizontal shaft gives motion to the generator. Thus, every movement of the float 1, whether upwards or downwards, small or big, rotates the shaft 8. This device, from float to generator, forms one unit. Many units placed in parallel side by side, activate a common shaft 8, which activates the generator. The floats are restricted inside metal cages 21 or inside recesses built in piers 24 and act as the cylinders of a multi-cylinder engine, independently one from the other, but cumulatively with enhancing power, on the same shaft. Many units form a group of units.
