Patent abstract
An apparatus for generating power from waves. Weighted power cells are suspended at opposing ends of a connecting arm supported by a floating frame that rocks in response to passing waves. The power cells compress air or draw a vacuum as they fall and rise, respectively, with respect to passing waves. The compressed air and vacuum are communicated to a pressure chamber and a vacuum chamber, each of which are operably connected to pneumatically drive an electrical generator.
