Patent ID: 8564152

Claim:
A device for converting wave energy in a continuous flow of water comprising: one or more input channels; one or more output channels; one or more passages; one or more turbines; and one or more generators; wherein said one or more generators are configured to generate an electricity; wherein said one or more generators are connected to said one or more turbines; wherein said one or more turbines are located within said one or more passages; wherein said one or more passages have a first end and a second end; wherein said one or more input channels and said one or more output channels are connected to said one or more passages, such that said first end of said one or more passages is connected to said one or more input channels and said second end of said one or more passages is connected to said one or more output channels; wherein said one or more input channels comprise a top surface and a bottom surface; wherein said top surface and said bottom surface of said one or more input channels comprise of one or more input valves; wherein said one or more output channels comprise a top surface and a bottom surface; wherein said top surface and said bottom surface of said one or more output channels comprise of one or more output valves; wherein said one or more input channels are configured to receive a first stream of water, such that said first stream of water passes through said one or more input valves of said bottom surface and exits through said one or more output valves of said one or more output channels; wherein said one or more input channels are configured to prevent said first stream of water from exiting through said one or more input valves and redirects said first stream of water to pass through said one or more passages and out of said one or more output valves of said one or more output channels; wherein said one or more output valves of said top surface and said one or more output valves of said bottom surface are configured to prevent said first stream of water from reentering said one or more output channels; wherein one or more input channels are configured to receive a second stream of water, such that said second stream of water passes through said one or more input valves of said top surface and exits through said one or more output valves of said one or more output channels; wherein said one or more input channels are configured to prevent said second stream of water from exiting through said one or more input valves and redirects said second stream of water to pass through said one or more passages and out of said one or more output valves of said one or more output channels; wherein said one or more output valves of said bottom surface and said one or more output valves of said top surface are configured to prevent said first stream of water from reentering said one or more output channels; and wherein said first stream of water and said second stream of water are converted into a usable energy source by said one or more turbines and said one or more generators.
