Patent ID: 8525364

Claim:
A device for converting the energy of waves in 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 turbines are within said one or more passages; wherein said one or more input channels have one or more input valves; wherein said one or more output channels have one or more output valves; wherein said one or more input channels are connected to said one or more output channels through said one or more passages; wherein said device for converting the energy of waves is submerged under a surface of a body of water such that at list a crest and a trough occur on top of the device simultaneously; wherein a plurality of waves passes over said device; wherein said plurality of waves have a crest and a trough along each wave length; wherein a stream of water enters said one or more input channels through said one or more input valves under pressure of said plurality of wave crests, wherein said stream of water is prevented from exiting through said one or more input valves such that said stream of water passes through said one or more passages to said one or more output channels and out through said one or more output valves; wherein said stream of water is prevented from entering through said one or more output valves; and wherein said stream of water is converted into a usable energy source by said one or more turbines and said one or more generators.
