Sussex wave energy converter ... The device involves a solid cylinder carrying circular ducts ... The flow of fluid through the ducts, and in turn the operation of pulsating sources is regulated internally by a piston carrying a mechanical load. Matching the load and hydraulic systems in tune with prevailing wave conditions will cause the fluid sources to resonate and absorb energy efficiently.
