Abstract: A device for utilizing wave energy that is otherwise lost, or spent in eroding shore lines and/or shore facilities, having a combined trough-turbine arrangement is disclosed. Inclined ramp means, curved and triangular deflectors, bucket-wheel combinations, and turbine guards combine with a flywheel to provide smooth-flowing power from wave energy. The interrelationships of the various parts reduces turbulence and increases the thrust of an incoming volume of wave energy, to rotate a shaft from which power can be derived.
