Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The object of the invention is to provide a wave power device that can extract energy from the horizontal component of water waves, where the PTO system makes the effectors self-centering. This provides a high margin against damage due to stopping forces when operating in large waves hereby ensuring a long service life and low maintenance costs. The system does not count on return springs, thus reducing the need for maintenance as well as making the structure necessary to support such springs obsolete. This reduces cost even further, making it possible to build a system with unprecedented good economy.
