Abstract

In the apparatus wave action produces an oscillating column of water in a tube (1) upstanding from the sea bed to a level above the water surface, entry and exit of water to and from the tube being effected by means of a ring of apertures (2) in the tube just below the water surface, so that the apparatus is responsive to wave action in any direction, and wherein the movement of air in the tube above the oscillating column of water is utilised through a pneumatic control circuit to drive an air turbine connected to an electric generator. <IMAGE>
