In this paper, a new system of wave energy conversion is proposed and results of model experiment are presented. This system extracts wave energy from the vertical motion of a float and counterweight connected at both ends of a tension member hanged from a pulley. An alternate rotational motion of a pulley thus obtained is transferred into a pair of opposite directional rotational motions by a pair of one-way clutches. The system works irrespectively to traveling direction of waves, and greatly reduces the structural problems usual to movable body type which employ rotation of movable body itself.
