Wave energy capture device and energy storage system utilizing a variable mass, variable radius concentric ring flywheel

A wave energy capture device, comprising:

• a wave chamber arranged to engage a body of water comprising a plurality of waves, including:
• a floor having a front end and a rear end, the floor having a higher elevational value at the front end relative to the rear end;
• a first opening arranged proximate the front end;
• a second opening arranged proximate the rear end;
• and,
• a hose arranged on said floor and extending from the first opening to the second opening, the hose operatively arranged to continuously fill with water from the body of water;
• and,
• an object arranged on the floor proximate the front end, the object connected to the wave chamber via one or more springs;
• wherein, when one of the plurality of waves enters the first opening, the object:
• is displaced from the front end toward the rear end;
• and,
• expresses the water in the hose in a first direction from the front end toward the rear end.
