The pump is cylinder shaped, small diameter, closed top, open bottom, protruding above sea level, kept vertical by a pump float and anchored to the sea bed.

The pump has two large diameter flared conic sections; one attached to the bottom of the pump and the other attached to the pump two meters above the bottom and covers a slotted pump section located one meter above the bottom of the pump.

Suction and Discharge Check Valves regulate the flow of air into and out of the pump.

A Discharge Line is fixed to the pump outer casing and runs down to connect through an elbow and flexible couplings to the piping network that feeds compressed air to the air inlet of a turbine.

The WAP has no moving parts, is light weight and needs a sea level of 14 meters. 

The WAP has minimum construction cost, and practically no maintenance costs other than visual inspection.

Discharge pipes and cross dummy piping are in integral part of the system mooring.

The pump converts the kinetic energy of a wave into compressed air, collects it and feeds it to the air inlet of a fueled turbo generator.

As a wave approaches the WAP, the large amount of water rushing and accelerating upward inside the flared conic sections is confronted with a reduced area thus transferring part of its Kinetic Energy to the air trapped in the upper section of the pump to deliver a small quantity of air at high pressure.

Suction and discharge Check Valves regulate the movement of air into and out of the pump.

The compressed air is collected by a piping network and fed to the air inlet or combustion chamber of a fuel turbo generator.

The energy in the compressed air would be manifested by less fuel consumption for the same power output, thus leading to increased efficiency of the turbo generator. 

The principles of feeding compressed air and fogging (adding water vapor) to turbine inlet air or combustion chamber are well known and established in the turbine industry.

A WAP field consists of multiples of 10-Pump sets to provide the required generator power output.

Installing ten sets of 10-Pumps each (total 100 pumps) occupies 13.5 by 30 meters space.  Air Compressed to 100 psi and generator output are shown below.

System costs depend upon location, power output and Client requirements.

The system output in KW-Hours per year is the sum product of generator output in KW and the respective wave height durations in hours per year.  This information would provide system yearly gross income.

The above data determines system viability and profitability.

Fuel Turbines consume a good part of their output to compress the turbine inlet air.

The WAP system resolves the dilemma of having generator output only when a renewable energy source is available.  No energy source, No power output.  The WAP system provides dependable energy irrespective of availability of waves or wind energy.

The turbo generator operates with normal fuel consumption when no waves or wind energy are available, and operates at reduced fuel consumption when these energies are available.

Based on proven engineering principles.

Small weights and structures.

Simple construction, low capital and maintenance costs, efficient energy extraction.

Auto-adjust to varying wave heights and sea levels, and provide dependable power output.

Resist storms, and are safe to navigation.

Zero emission

Can Withstand storms

Does not disturb marine life or shoreline scenic view, and provide a Free Floating Break Water Structure.

Safe to navigation

Sea depth requirement a minimum of 8.50 meters.

The WAP can be used to clean contaminated sea water.  Injecting compressed air into the sea water would aerate sea water and add oxygen to it.
