Abstract
A wave energy converter situated on a seabed includes a pair of pistons, a means for producing energy within a vessel, and a water-conveyance pipe attached to the vessel. The pistons reciprocate using differential pressure to extract energy from a wave transiting on the surface of a body of water. Water receiving ports at high and low pressure points create a differential pressure to act on the pistons and push them in opposite directions. A hydraulic cylinder or a linear alternator is attached between the pair of pistons to extract the energy.
