An apparatus for extracting energy from oscillating fluid, comprising:
- a structural support assembly that comprises a main hinge, a plurality of front outrigger assemblies, a plurality of rear outrigger assemblies and a frame assembly having an upper frame and a lower frame;
- wherein the upper frame and the lower frame are both attached to the main hinge;
- wherein both the plurality of front outrigger assemblies and the plurality of rear outrigger assemblies are attached to the main hinge via one or more bearings that permit the front and rear outrigger assemblies to rotate along the axis of the main hinge;
- wherein at least one of the plurality of front outrigger assemblies includes at least one outrigger support base;
- wherein at least one of the plurality of front outrigger assemblies includes a rack and pinion system;
- wherein at least one of the plurality of front outrigger assemblies includes a rack and braking system;
- a hydraulic assembly that comprises a front hydraulic assembly, a rear hydraulic assembly and a turbine assembly, wherein both the front and rear hydraulic assemblies include one or more hydraulic pumps;
- wherein the hydraulic assembly is connected to the structural support assembly;
- an electrical assembly that comprises at least one generator, at least one hydraulic turbine, at least one voltage transformer, a programmable logic controller and a circular electrical transfer assembly connected to a rear electrical conduit and connected to a forward electrical conduit;
- a tank float assembly that comprises a front tank float assembly and a rear tank float assembly;
- wherein at least one of the front outrigger assemblies is connected to the front tank float assembly via the at least one outrigger support base, which allows the forward and rearward movement of the front tank float assembly;
- wherein at least one of the rear outrigger assemblies is connected to the rear tank float assembly;
- wherein the one or more hydraulic pumps are connected to at least one of the front outrigger assemblies and to at least one of the rear outrigger assemblies, thus providing the front and rear tank float assemblies, which are connected to the corresponding front and rear outrigger assemblies, with the capability of moving up and down when the corresponding front and rear outrigger assemblies rotate along the axis of the main hinge;
- and
- an electrical brake assembly for stopping the front tank float assembly as it moves back and forth along the at least one outrigger support base.
