Mounted in a wave area (friction zone)elements of the device illustrated ride the incoming waveform as it approaches. The swell lifts the float (black & aprox. 60') connected to the weight (red) and retracts the pump elements (green) .

As the swell passes by, the reciprocating elements (red & black) drop into the swells trough and their dropping weight compresses the pump element. The massive weight has gravity & velocity acting in harmony with this power stroke.

The pumps compose a conventional closed loop hydraulic system (organic oil) powering a generator. Our unique device including its wind power built by  www.WinderaPowerSystems.com  mounted to the free area on top and a tidal generator mounted to the base can generate ~5MW of power. The engineered maximum size device is expected to produce three times this output.

Simplified explanation of the OEM device functioning within a waveform

The main components of the device are:

Pile – 10 feet in diameter – 150 feet length – steel or composite.

Float (s) toroid 60 feet in diameter - steel or composite

Mass ~50 tons – encapsulated scrap metal

Yoke - steel or composite

Power Collar - steel or composite

The Pile is a support structure retaining the device within the deployed friction area that we expect is 60 feet of water. Floating around and encompassing the Pile the Float rises & descends with each wave cycle. Attached to the Float the Yoke transfers the Floats motion to a Power Collar. The Yoke & power collar simply keeps the linear up and down motion constant canceling out random movements. The mass is attached to the Power Collar & the Yoke is attached (or designed into) the Float.

The mass descending between each wave cycle provides the power on its down stroke. Utilizing the down stroke will keep the device secured to the seabed. Changing the rate of the dropping mass will be a variable incorporated. If you have a 13 second cycle of waves passing the device, consider if the mass is held at the top of its movement for 5 seconds and then released, the mass falling will accelerate at a higher rate thus increasing the power output.

The illustrations picture the device with the Float cut away to view the central components. Picture the Floats leading edge (tan color) starting to rise on a waveform. Cresting the top of the cycle the Float articulates on the Yoke (gray) and is free to gimbel on the horizontal plane axis with any random wave energy action. Note that despite any random wave energy the Mass (yellow) still achieves a maximum height before descending the waveform and powering the PTO's (whether mechanical, hydraulic or other means of collecting the force of 50 tons of mass descending).

The green “Rotating Drive Plate” simply cancels out rotational forces for linier PTO.
