DEVICE FOR DERIVING POWER FROM WAVE ENERGY

摘要

A device for extracting energy from wave energy and comprising a pluraliy of chambers adapted for pressurising a working gas, and a mechanical device such as an air turbine to which the collected pressurised working gas is conducted to extract energy therefrom and drive a device such as an electric generator. The chambers are connected together in series relationship so that the pressurised working gas from one chamber is collected by an adjacent chamber as it progresses along the series to the mechanical device.
