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 7):
The system of  claim 1  wherein the ballast subsystem comprises:\n a heave plate operatively connected to the flexible linear component by a movable joint; a connection of the heave plate to the flexible linear component configured such that the heave plate assumes a retracted position when sinking in water, the retracted position being substantially parallel to the flexible linear component, and assumes an extended position when moving upward in the water column, the extended position being substantially perpendicular to the flexible linear component; and \n two motion stops having one end substantially at a location of the movable joint; one motion stop being disposed along the flexible linear component, another motion stop being disposed perpendicular to the flexible component.
