Abstract: A float mechanism for generating energy from waves. Floats are coupled together such that they can pivot about a horizontal axis relative to one another. Hydraulic cylinders on either side of the attachment points compress and extend with the wave motion. Check valves control flow to and from the cylinders. The floats are pivotally tied to a floating structure such that they can pivot about the structure on the surface of the water as may be required for maximum efficiency. Water compressed from the cylinders feeds a turbine which in turn feeds a generator for the generation of electrical power. In the second embodiment, floats are coupled together by means of compound bell cranks and hydraulic cylinders are coupled between alternate bell cranks at the lateral arms thereof.

Abstract: A boat having an external float pivotally fixed to the boat. Through linkage, the motion of the float relative to the boat resulting from wave motion drives a dual cylinder pump. The pump admits water from the body of water in which the boat is suspended and pressurizes that water for direction aft as a means for propulsion.
