Abstract
A wave energy harvester (A) includes an element (A) that converts forward and/or backward of water in a wave (A, B, C) passing the harvester (A) into upward and/or downward movement to thereby increase the vertical amplitude of the harvester (A) relative to the sea floor (A, B, C). In most preferred aspects, the element (A) is a hydrofoil that is coupled to the harvester (A). Further preferred aspects include those in which part of, or the entire harvester (A) has a neutral buoyancy, and where energy is extracted from the downwards movement of the neutrally buoyant part (A) after a wave has lifted that part (A).
