Abstract:
Point absorbing wave energy converters that do not require a rigid structure, are easy to deploy and are economically viable for a variety of deployments are disclosed herein below. The system includes a point absorber wave energy converter and a flexible component and ballast combination, where the flexible component and ballast combination includes a ballast subsystem and a flexible linear component extending from the point absorber wave energy converter to the ballast subsystem and operatively connected at one end to the ballast subsystem and at another end to the point absorber wave energy converter. The flexible component and ballast combination configured to provide a strong drag force when moving upward in a water column and a weak drag force when sinking in the water column.

Claim (Index 4):
The system of  claim 1  wherein the ballast subsystem comprises:\n a first elongate member having a first and second end; the first elongate member being operatively connected at the first end to the flexible linear component; and \n one or more second elongated members; each of the one or more second elongate members having a first end and a second end; the second end of each of the one or more second elongate member being operatively coupled to the first elongate member by a movable joint and movable relative to the first elongate member between a retracted position and an extended position; in both the retracted and extended positions, in each of the second elongate members, the first end of each of the second elongate members is disposed closer to the point absorber wave energy converter than the second end of said each of the second elongate members; said each of the second elongate members being configured to assume the retracted position when sinking in the water column and to assume the extended position when moving upward in the water column.
