Marine Hydroelectric Generator MHG
This device resembles an inverted point absorber. A gantry stucture affixed to the seafloor and rising above the water level supports a hanging float, or drive vessel. As the float rises with a passing wave, the potential energy is stored using a proprietary drivetrain and flywheel design.
