Abstract
The invention is an apparatus and method for harnessing wave energy by transforming it in a continuous flow of water to be converted in mechanical energy through a water turbine. The energy wave device maximizes the throughput by discharging the water crest in a continuous flow through turbines into the trough, absorbing the water of the neighboring wave's crest and sharing the facilities.
