Abstract
A linear, universal modular absorber for wave energy conversion having a linear module incorporating two subassemblies: an actuated subassembly and a reference subassembly. The linear module contains a direct drive linear machine for converting linear mechanical motion into electrical energy. The linear module may be used between any two oscillating mechanical bodies, exploiting their relative motion, and adapting to the mechanical characteristics of the larger system in which it is deployed.
