The creator/author is M. G. Montgomery. The abstract/discription is: The invention is an improvement in the economical generation of energy by providing a system for utilizing the wave action of bodies of water, such as ocean waves.^The system consists of a pair of floating units, each separately connected to a shaft member by a connecting arm, a ratchet-like gear affixed to the shaft member is indexed forward alternately or concurrently by spring loaded pawls affixed to each of the connecting arms from the floating units to the shaft members.^The wave action alternately raising and lowering the floating units concurrently turns the ratchet-like gear through the action of the pawls.^Thus, the turning shaft, properly geared can turn an electric generator, air compressor, or other device of generating another form of energy which can be used or stored for future use. I don't know what else you could be asking about. The link below leads to a patent on a wave action energy generation system. The creator/author is M. G. Montgomery.

I once read about a device like this. It used floating cam-like bobbers that rose and fell with each wave. This turned a ratchet like mechanism which in turn drove a shaft for power. Don't remember the name of the inventor or what it was called, but this was how it works. Hi. I once read about a device like this.
