Summary:PCT No. PCT/GB95/00793 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 9, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 9, 1996 PCT Filed Apr. 7, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO95/27850 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 19, 1995A wave energy device comprising a tube assembly comprising a plurality of open pipes of different lengths and natural resonant frequencies each (FIG. 8) where each tube (13) floating upright in the water (FIG. 2), with the tower end of the tube open to the water and generally disposed below the effective wave base. There is an air column above the water in the tube. Turbine (17) is provided for harnessing power from fluctuations in the air column caused by the changing water level (16) in the tube as a result of the wave motion of the surrounding water (11).
