Claim 9:
10. A method for further pressurizing pressurized fluid within a compressor assembly using motion of waves on a surface of a body of water, the pressurized fluid being pressurized by a previous compressor assembly, the method comprising:
moving a compression piston of the compressor assembly away from a bottom end of a compression chamber and towards a top end of the compression chamber in response to a buoyant member floating on the surface rising due to an upward motion of the waves,
wherein a first side of the compression piston is coupled to the buoyant member via a first rod portion of a piston rod, and
wherein a second side of the compression piston is coupled to a second rod portion of the piston rod, the second rod portion sized such that a terminal surface of the second rod portion is located within an equalizer chamber of an equalizer assembly during an entire range of motion of the compression piston between the top end and the bottom end and a diameter of the second rod portion is equal to or greater than a diameter of the first rod portion,
the equalizer chamber is maintained at an equalization pressure such that fluid in the equalizer chamber at the equalization pressure exerts a negligible force on the terminal surface during the entire range of motion of the compression piston; and, moving the compression piston away from the top end and towards the bottom end in response to the buoyant member falling due to a downward motion of the waves.
