ABSTRACT The development of surface water wave power, as a source of energy, has made little progress in the last fifty years, due mainly to the high cost of converting intermittent energy into a more sustainable form. Two serious "prior art" projects, the British and the Japanese are examined in the "Disclosure". A model of a SURFACE WAVE DRIVEN GENERATOR is proposed which uses economical small scale and presently developed technology. Its distinguishable features from other inventions may be summarized as follows: - the concept of this machine implicitly challenges the notion that large industrial hydroelectric type of installations offer the ideal model for a successful development of wave energy. Instead, this is better achieved by smaller installations, which are capable of meeting the household needs of poor populations living off the coastlines of third world countries blessed with abundant, albeit unutilized wave energy. - this invention makes full use of two devices [flywheel, compressed air] capable of storing energy in order to correct the intermittent nature of wave power. In this respect, the most efficient energy storage device, the flywheel, plays the predominant role. - the performance and efficiency of the compressed air process are increased through a scientifically controlled solar exposure of the walls of the compressed air container. - operational costs are substantially reduced if the sensitive and vulnerable parts of the wave driven machine are stationed ashore where they are easily accessible for repairs and surveillance.
