REVIEW  OF WAVE CONVERTERS & PATENTS

Oscillating wave surge converters extract energy with a paddle or baffle from wave surges and the movement of water particles within them. The arm mounted on a pivoted joint oscillates as a pendulum relative to a base, in or out of the water, in response to the movement of water in the waves.
