A large number of devices have been proposed for extracting energy from ocean surface waves. This paper proposes yet another which operates on the same principles as alternating current generators. The device froms a two-degree of freeedom mechanical system producing power by electro-magnetic induction. The equations governing the system's motion, as well as, the rate of power generation is presented. These are solved in a special case, which for a typical set of operating conditions, lead to energy extraction from the waves of 35 percent.
