Zusammenfassung:	A bladder 1 of a wave power generating device. The bladder is filled with foam 2 and fluid (air). The bladder is connected to pipe(s) 3, which is connected to hollow container(s) 4 having a plurality of holes 5 allowing passage of the air but preventing passage of the foam. Air can travel via pipes 10, 8 through one-way valves 9, 11 to feed the turbine 12 of the storm resistant wave power generator. The hollow container may be made of semi flexible plastic. When the bladder is compressed by waves, the foam acts to re-inflate the bladder. The bladder may be filled with foam chunks (6, figure 2) or foam cage (7, figure 3).
