Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards an apparatus for power generation from the surface ocean waves in deep seas and methods thereof. Wave energy moves a float, vertically up and down, within the confines of four vertical pillars that are fixed to a buoyant tank. This buoyant tank is placed deep below the ocean surface and the upper surface of the float connects to a rack and pinion system which is coupled to a gearbox. Within the gearbox are freewheels and gears, that drive a generator shaft, in one direction only, as the float oscillates up and down on the ocean waves. For generating large amounts of power, a number of units are placed in a row. Many rows are placed side by side and the mechanical energy of all the rows is transferred to a long horizontal shaft which drives a generator through a gear box.
