Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009130670A2] The invention addresses the field of apparatus for producing energy from wave motion and namely relates to an apparatus composed of a succession of downwardly open tanks within a structure that floats or is secured to the shore in a pier-like fashion so that, due to the law of communicating vessels, water flowing in and out of them, will create positive and negative air pressure that can be utilized for producing electric or mechanic energy.
