Abstract

The invention relates to an improved wavepower collector and method of construction. The invention provides a wavepower collector which is arranged to flex as waves pass by it, the flexing of the collector causes shortening and lengthening of respective sides of the collector. Passages provided on the collector are filled with fluid and as the axial length of the collector is reduced, the length of the passages is reduced such that pressurised fluid is produced. This provides a simple and effective construction for providing pressurised fluid from wavepower, which can be used to provide electricity, desalinated water, etc.
