Abstract

The disclosure relates to a high efficiency, low maintenance, simple, pressure receptacle wave energy converter device comprising a converter/generator unit such as a flywheel aided generator (which is located, in use, on a floating body), a buoyancy aided pressure receptacle unit located, in use, below the surface of the water, and a means of connecting/tethering the pressure receptacle with the converter. The device permits the capture of buoyant wave energy imparted to the pressure receptacle and the conversion of the captured energy into electrical energy thus directly producing or storing electrical energy from the captured kinetic energy of the waves.
