The invention provides a method and apparatus (100) for generating electric energy from the motion of the waves. The apparatus (100) comprises at least one member (44, 45), which is moved by the motion of the waves. The apparatus (100) also comprises an energy transfer mechanism (400) coupled to the or each member (44, 45). The energy transfer mechanism (400) converts the kinetic energy from movement of the or each member (44, 45) to potential energy by pressurisation of a fluid. The apparatus (100) further comprises a first chamber (114), arranged to store the pressurised fluid and a conversion means (128, 130) for converting the potential energy stored in the pressurised fluid into electric energy. The apparatus (100) can be arranged such that any substantially vertical displacement of the or each member (44,45) causes actuation of the or each corresponding energy transfer mechanism (400).
L~invention concerne un procédé et un appareil (100) de production d~énergie électrique à partir du mouvement des vagues. L~appareil (100) comprend au moins un élément (44, 45), qui est déplacé par le mouvement des vagues. L~appareil (100) comprend également un mécanisme de transfert d~énergie (400) accouplé à l~élément ou bien à chaque élément (44, 45). Le mécanisme de transfert d~énergie (400) convertit l~énergie cinétique provenant du mouvement de l~élément ou de chaque élément (44, 45) en énergie potentielle par pressurisation d~un fluide. L~appareil (100) comporte en outre une première chambre (114), disposée pour stocker le fluide sous pression et des moyens de conversion (128, 130) permettant de convertir l~énergie potentielle stockée dans le fluide sous pression en énergie électrique. L~appareil (100) peut être disposé de manière à ce que tout déplacement sensiblement vertical de l~élément ou de chaque élément (44,45) provoque l~actionnement du ou de chaque mécanisme de transfert d~énergie (400) correspondant.
