description An apparatus for converting the energy in the motion of the rise and fall of ocean swells into electrical is disclosed. The device includes a cable having a first end and a second end with a bladder connected to the first end of the cable. The bladder moves generally in a vertical direction as an ocean swell rises and falls. There is a means for changing the direction of travel of a portion of the cable so that as one portion of the cable rises and falls with an ocean swell a second portion of the cable provides back and forth motion that is translated to rotational movement to rotate an armature on a generator.
