Watercraft equipped with a hybrid wave-powered electricity generating and propulsion system
This disclosure provides improved nautical craft that can travel and navigate on their own.

Surfaces capturing energy from flow have optimized movements to follow speed of water in different depths. Also energy conservation to filter output ripple can be arranged with twin-phase fluid accumulators (51, 55).
