A buoyant wave energy device is disclosed that incorporates an open-bottomed tube of substantial length in which is partially enclosed a first body of water that oscillates in response to wave action. The device incorporates a buoy to which an upper end of the tube is connected and inside of which is trapped a second body of water of substantial mass. A differential phase in the oscillations of the water trapped in the tube, and the oscillations of the buoy of augmented mass, result in the periodic compression of a pocket of air trapped at the top of the tube, and in the subsequent expulsion of pressurized air through a turbine, thereby generating electrical power.

Embodiments of an apparatus for generating electric power from flowing seawater are disclosed. Embodiments form fluid channels having magnetic fields through which seawater will flow. Electrodes are arranged with respect to the fluid channels and connected together such that electric power is generated as seawater flows through the channels.

A wave receiving plate is pivotably supported by a support device in the wave force generation system and includes a flexible plate in at least a part of the wave receiving plate.

A permanent magnet generator for ocean energy conversion includes a stator structure and a rotor structure. The stator structure includes a stator body whereon a plurality of stator slots are formed. The rotor structure includes a rotor body whereon a plurality of rotor slots are formed. The rotor body is disposed inside the rotor body in a swinging or rotatable manner. A ratio of a number of the rotor slots to a number of the stator slots is 8 to 9. The number of the rotor slots is at least equal to 64. The number of the stator slots is at least equal to 72. The permanent magnet generator requires a low speed/angle of a swinging/rotating movement of the rotor body relative to the stator body to generate electricity, and therefore, it facilitates electricity generation from ocean energy.
