  • Patent number: 5211545
    Abstract: Arrangement for feeding water into a reservoir located at a level above that of the ocean by utilising energy produced by the movement of waves thereof. An air cushion-forming portion of a first chamber communicates with an air cushion-forming portion of a second chamber. Water is supplied to the second chamber via an intake pipe and associated back pressure valves plus adjacent rising pipe. As a result of equivalent pressure variations in the first and second air cushion-forming portions caused by movement of the waves, water is lifted from the second chamber in a pipe via additional back pressure valves along with a further rising pipe plus pump to a higher lying, third chamber and from there to the reservoir.
