ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
This invention is an energy conversion system that utilizes the rhythmic
swell of the ocean, converting this energy into mechanical energy and thence
into the generation of electricity. The mechanical energy is in the form
of fluid compression by pistons inside vertical cylinders that are inter-
connected with floats that ride up and down as external sleeves on the
cylinders. The float motion is induced directly by the ocean swell and
produces the piston stroke. The fluid compressed by the plurality of piston
and cylinder units drives a power output generator through a controlled
means. There is a return line system of the fluid to the cylinders. Means
are provided to anchor the cylinders to the ocean bed.
