Patent ID: 8193651

Claim:
A system of vessels for conversion of energy from wave motion of water comprising: a) a means for semi-automatic attachment and detachment of said vessels are arranged as fleets consisting of contiguous rows with bow-to-stem attachments, and b) a contiguous columns of vessels in a roll dimension, with vessels attached port-to-starboard and all vessels in a heave dimension; said contiguous row and columns provide orthogonal wave energy conversion providing essentially continuous directional to both wind and swell waves; c) a means of position-keeping by dynamic positioning where designated vessels having self-propulsion for said dynamic positioning and cargo transportation to ports-of-call; d) wherein said vessels form an articulated structure employing the use of said vessels in such a way as providing conversion and storage of said ocean energy from the differential motion existing between the vessels to hydraulic, electrical and chemical forms, respectively; e) an apparatus for analyses of wind wave and swell waves impinging on a fleet having randomly occurring wavelengths spectra, phases, amplitudes and directions and permitting adaption of said vessel resonance features to achieve optimum energy transfer; f) a designated pairs of vessels that may aggregate, transport and distribute said stored chemicals or electrical energy to ports-of-call and return with sequestered carbon dioxide and supplies to recover portions of the energy expended during transportation; g) a means for providing electrical energy to perform electrolysis and chemical processes for creation of chemicals useful for storing hydrogen, and for creation of hydrocarbon products and for providing storage of said electrical energy in capacitors commonly referred to as ultra-capacitors or in hybrid ultra-capacitor-storage batteries.
