Many on-shore (or on-platform) activities (e.g. aquaculture, heating and cooling, fire suppression) require high volumes of water. This product, "Burin Wave Power Pump", is capable of pumping required volumes of offshore water to on-shore applications. The device is a combination of a semi-submersible buoy, attached to a fully submersible massive base through a piston/cylinder pump arrangement. The pump is equipped with in/out valves to direct the flow of water. The device uses the energy inherent in the wave motion of an ocean or a lake in which it is submerged, to pump water to the shore or platform for use. The wave action of the water body moves the small float to drive a pump while the massive base moves very little. This relative motion of pump float and buoy body is translated into a piston stroke which is used to displace water through appropriate piping to shore. The device is designed to operate in a near-shore (-1Km, water depth > 7 M) environment where waves heights are frequently > 1 M. Although the total energy available is determined by the local wave regime, output pressure and flow rates can be changed to suit activities by modifying the dimensions of the pump body. This flow of water can be used to generate electricity through the use of low- head generators.
