Abstract:
Heat storage of the sea is increased during the summer time by pumping relatively warmer surface water with wave-action pumps to the deeper layers with relatively cooler water. In locations where currents are minimal in these deeper layers, the lateral displacement of the warmer water introduced by wave-inertial pumps will be minimized. During the winter season, this additional heat will intensify evaporation from the sea, which will increase precipitation in the nearby continental zone. This “natural desalination process” using the energy of surface waves will bring additional freshwater to arid coastal areas during wintertime.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of storing thermal energy in a large water body having naturally occurring waves during a warm season in order to cause increased evaporation and rainfall during a relatively cool season, comprising:\n a) floating one or more pipes within the water body each to rise and fall within the water body due to an action of the waves, each pipe; b) extending downwards from the surface of the water body to a region of the water body having a stratified area of substantially colder water temperatures than the water at the surface of the body; and c) having a one-way valve oriented within the pipe to permit passage of water from near the surface substantially only downwards within the pipe towards deeper water, the pumping action caused by movement of the pipe due to the pipe rising and falling due to wave action.
