Abstract:
1. A mechanism for capturing wave energy, the mechanism comprising: a structure; and a set of vertical buoys with support portions for supporting the structure, the set of vertical buoys being structured to be deployed at a surface region of a body of water, wherein the structure is rectangular and includes: wherein the movable tank holder carriage includes a plurality of buoyancy tanks for floatation, the buoyancy tanks having faces configured to maximize contact with the water, wherein the buoyancy tanks are encased in a structural cage attached to the movable tank holder carriage, and wherein the buoyancy tanks include wheels that run along the structural cage to keep a position of the buoyancy tanks fixed relative to a level of the water, allowing the buoyancy tanks to rise and fall with movement of the waves.
