Ocean wave power generator (a “modular power-producing network”)

A composite or modular device or system for the purpose of extracting energy from ocean waves, initially in the form of pressurized fluid capable of transduction into electrical energy or useful work, comprised of:

• one or more stable, structurally stiff framework member(s) or structure(s);
• means of suspension of the composite device in ocean water;
• one or more pressurizeable storage vessel(s) for fluid, containing a captive air pocket at the top of at least one of said vessels, capable of providing pressurized fluid to an energy transducer above water level including a generator or other means of transforming energy or performing work;
• one or more lever arm(s) with one or more floats at their distal end(s), and hinged to one or more of the framework structure(s) at their proximal end(s);
• one or more valved cylinder-and-piston type fluid displacement mechanism(s) or water ram(s);
• means of conduction of the pressurized fluid between the water ram(s), the storage vessel(s), and one or more locations for transduction of be pressurized fluid into electrical energy, or used for other application(s), whether on or near the device or removed therefrom;
• means of connecting the components of the device or system to each other;
• means of generating electrical energy from the pressurized, stored fluid;
• and
• means of conducting energy generated, or other forms of energy generated, to the areas of use.
