REVIEW  OF WAVE CONVERTERS & PATENTS

​Over topping devices capture water as waves rise up a slope and over the top into a storage reservoir. The water is then returned to the sea passing through a conventional low-head turbine which generates power. Over topping devices often use ‘collectors’ to concentrate the wave energy.
