The Wave Pump: Conversion of Wave Energy to Current Energy

Journal of the Waterway, Port, Coastal and Ocean Division, 1977
The Wave Pump converts wave energy to current energy utilizing the momentum of waves which are close to or at the breaking stage. To improve the efficiency of the Pump so that even smaller waves become effective, waves are concentrated in a funnel. Funnel geometry therefore is an important parameter. So is the wave height over depth ratio.
