SHORELINE, electric wave motion generator

this machine sets offshore on a tide plain that repetitively presents waves on shore.  The machine is anchored onto the bottom, and waves push the water ramp down as the tide comes in.  That amount of water weight pushes down on the lever arm causing the mechanical drive of a push rod onto the piston rod. Thereby driving the piston forward inside its cylinder.  The water comes into the cylinder through a one way valve/ but is fed by a water intake designed to scrape “marine growth” off the tube at the intake cleaner; thereby keeping it clean.  The guide is a secondary support designed to keep the piston rod in parallel with its frame. The weight on the back side of the lever arm is intended to lift the water ramp back into position as water retreats. The water flap is designed to help that effort, but also creates a secondary push once the water ramp is flattened enough to be less effective.  Returning the water ramp to its initial position,  can be done with springs or other.
The design is simple: water runs over the ramp creating mechanical force by pumping sea water into the delivery pressure pipe, that pipe then takes the collected water pressures into the water turbine to then turn the electrical generator.  Water returns to the sea. 

This is intended to be one of a series of such pumps so that maximum effects can be generated.  And is intended to work with a secondary holding tank, so that at periods of less than maximum electrical needs.  The system can simply pump water instead, thereby creating a reserve for later use as the water is returned into the sea by routing through the turbine to turn the generator first.   Running through a tank system first will eliminate most of the surge created by wave motion.  Tank not shown.  Except for the tank, nothing sits above the water/ it is very limited negative effect within the water/ can be put far enough to sea to not interfere with the use of a beach/ and will aid against beach erosion if built strong enough to take the abuse.

Under certain conditions, the machine can be used to generate a second smaller pulse of energy on the backstroke, by the simple introduction of seals, one ways valves, and a top thrust bearing. The size of the piston shaft determines the volume. It simply takes a second line at the back of the cylinder, not shown.
