Compressor for compressing high-pressured fluids

A system for further pressurizing pressurized fluid using motion of waves on a surface of a body of water, the pressurized fluid being pressurized by a previous compressor assembly and the system comprising:

• a compressor assembly comprising:
• a compression chamber having a top end and a bottom end;
• a compression piston having a first side and a second side, wherein the compression piston is slidably housed within the compression chamber;
• and
• a piston rod comprising:
• a first rod portion having a first end coupled to a buoyant member floating on the surface of the body of water and a second end coupled to the first side of the compression piston, wherein movement of the buoyant member is transferred, via the first rod portion, into movement of the compression piston between the top end and the bottom end;
• and
• a second rod portion having a first end coupled to the second side of the compression piston and a second end including a terminal surface, and wherein a diameter of the second rod portion is equal to or greater than a diameter of the first rod portion;
• and
• an equalizer assembly comprising an equalizer chamber maintained at an equalization pressure, wherein the second rod portion is sized such that the terminal surface is located in the equalizer chamber during an entire range of motion of the compression piston between the top end and the bottom end, and wherein fluid in the equalizer chamber at the equalization pressure exerts a negligible force on the terminal surface during the entire range of motion of the compression piston.
