Abstract:
Disclosed is a novel device that converts some of the power in ocean waves into electrical power or other means of performing useful work. One or more tubes are arranged so that when the device is in position in a body of water, the tubes are oriented vertically with one end positioned proximate to and/or above the surface of the body of water on which the device floats, and with the other end positioned below the surface of that body of water. In some embodiments, through a differential restriction on the flow of air in and out of an upper end of the tube, the average height of the water inside the tube is different from the average height of the water outside the tube. In some embodiments, a hollow void inside a flotation structure of the embodiment is filled with water to contribute significant mass to the embodiment and increase the momentum associated with its vertical oscillations. Additional elements of the present disclosure include features that protect the device from damage during periods of large waves, and facilitate the powering and cooling of computers and/or other electronic equipment operated therein.

Claim (Index 11):
The reciprocating wave-to-electricity energy converter of  claim 10 , wherein the one way valve preferentially allows air to pass out of the water chamber and the turbine preferentially rotates when air enters the water chamber.
