Abstract
A body 1 is adapted to be moved to and fro by waves on a liquid, and means such as a rack and pinion or, as shown, a hydraulic piston 3 in a cylinder 4 converts this movement into a power output. The body 1 may be disposed about a horizontal cable 2 along which the to and fro movement of the body is arranged to occur, the cable being secured to the piston 3 so that relative movement between the body and the cable results in displacement of the piston in the cylinder 4. A plurality of cables may be threaded through the body, and some of them may be in mutually perpendicular relationship to provide an omnidirectional wave energy conversion capability. <IMAGE>
