An improved system for harnessing the energy of ocean waves to produce useful energy like electricity is disclosed wherein a power generating apparatus is attached to a support structure located out of the water and on dry land. The support structure comprises a mechanical boom disposed on a base located on the shore and a moveable mounting structure provided with a plurality of hydraulic cylinders such that the power generating apparatus may be moved in all directions and placed in position in the water flow optimal for the generation of power. The power generating apparatus comprises a selectively moveable turbine unit coupled to either a power generating mechanism, such as a generator, or pumping mechanism such that the rotation of the turbine unit due to the impact of the ocean waves can be converted into useful energy. Also disclosed are means for restricting and preventing lateral sliding of a wide belt as it moves over a tank or over a two section straight conveyor having rotating drums, the wide belt and either a tank or conveyor comprising two different embodiments of the present invention.
An apparatus for extracting power from waves produced by a body of water, comprising:
