A wave energy harvester (100A) includes an element (120A) that converts forward and/or backward of water in a wave (102A. B. C) passing the harvester (100A) into upward and/or downward movement to thereby increase the vertical amplitude of the harvester (100A) relative to the sea floor (104A. B. C). In most preferred aspects, the element (120A) is a hydrofoil that is coupled to the harvester (100A). Further preferred aspects include those in which part of, or the entire harvester (100A) has a neutral buoyancy, and where energy is extracted from the downwards movement of the neutrally buoyant part (100A) after a wave has lifted that part (110A).

L'invention porte sur un capteur d'énergie de la houle comportant un élément convertissant les mouvements d'avance et de recul de l'eau d'une vague passant sur le capteur en un mouvement ascendant et descendant accroissant l'amplitude verticale du capteur par rapport au fond de la mer. Dans les variantes préférées ledit élément est un profilé hydrodynamique, et mieux, un profilé hydrodynamique de flottabilité neutre, et l'énergie est extraite des mouvements ascendants et descendants dudit profilé après son soulèvement par la vague.
