A wave energy device comprising a tube (13) floating upright in water, with the lower end of the tube open to the water and generally disposed below the effective wave base. There is an air column above the water in the tube. A turbine (17) is provided for harnessing power from fluctuations in the air column caused by the changing water level (16) in the tube as a result of the wave motion of the surrounding water (11).
Dispositif captant l'énergie des vagues comprenant un tube (13) flottant verticalement dans l'eau dont l'extrémité inférieure débouche dans l'eau et se situe globalement sous la base de l'onde effective. Dans le tube, une colonne d'air se situe au-dessus de l'eau. Une turbine (17) est prévue pour capter l'énergie des fluctuations de l'air produites par la variation du niveau (16) de l'eau dans le tube résultant du mouvement ondulatoire de l'eau environnante (11).
