CA 2408855

An ocean wave energy converter means for powering an electric generating system said converter comprising a chamber with the bottom end closed and resting on the ocean floor, with top end open to the sea above, and a reciprocating piston with an annular seal to keep sea water out of a gas filled chamber below, vented so to operate near atmospheric pressure, free to move axially in response to pressure changes as ocean waves pass over. The invention, positioned below wave trough level at a location of significant wave height near a shoreline, converts potential and kinetic energy of recurring ocean waves into electric energy by way of a system of hydraulic-cylinders, -accumulators, -motors and -pumps, and electric generators. A power transfer medium is connected from the ocean wave energy converter to a receiving device onshore in the nature of an electric customer or an electric utility.
