REVIEW  OF WAVE CONVERTERS & PATENTS

Submerged pressure differential devices are
typically located near shore and attached to the seabed. The motion of the waves causes the sea level to rise and fall above the device, inducing a pressure differential on the float or water column relative to the base. This causes the float to oscillate and the resultant alternating pressure pumps fluid through a system to generate electricity.
