Abstract
A wave energy converter has a shell, a pendulum pivotally positioned in the shell and having either a magnet or a coil connected or interconnected thereto, a variable inductor for varying an inductive capacity and positioned in the shell, and a pendulum adjuster operatively connected to the pendulum so as to change a center of gravity of the pendulum. The variable inductor has either a magnet and a coil connected or interconnected thereto. At least one of the magnet and the coil oscillates relative to the magnet or the coil of the variable inductor. A shaft is connected to the pendulum so as to move in relation to the pivotal movement of the pendulum.
