NOVELTY - A hydraulic power cell (1) has a tubular member (4) having strengthened elastic walls which are resiliently deformable in all directions, an inlet (2), and an outlet (3) fixed in position relative to the walls and connected to an energy release collection system (9). When the cell is in contact with and distorted by a turbulent fluid or liquid environment, the distortion forces are captured momentarily within the elastic walls. The captured forces are released through the outlet, allowing the cell to relax back to its pre-distortion configuration.    USE - Hydraulic power cell for capturing, storing and releasing energy. Can also be used in a floating device for capturing, dissipating and storing wave action energy from a body of water (claimed), and in a non-floating device for capturing and storing wave action energy from a body of water in motion (claimed), as well as in marine energy extraction structures to serve as navigational aids, such as self-powered lights, transmitters and the like, including providing an emergency rescue platform or lifeguard structure for mariners and or vessels, power sources positioned in the vicinity of sub-sea oil and gas pipelines to provide heating and other flow assurance functions regarding such flow lines, efficient breakwaters to protect ports and or shorelines, and utilization of the artificial reef-like characteristics to augment offshore fish supplies, i.e. fish sanctuaries.    ADVANTAGE - The hydraulic power cell is combined with other cells in series to capture most of motion energy of widely varying frequencies and magnitudes existing in any body water, preferably at sea. The random and sporadic energy taken from the cells is stored in a water energy storage system, which stores and dampens energy surges so that they can be tapped on relatively steady and regular basis. The cell is capable of breaking waves, both large and small, so as to capture the maximum energy generation point of such wave, realizing conversion of ocean wave energy into efficient, clean and useful power. The floating device or non-floating device utilizing the cells is made less susceptible to ice damage in winter-like conditions, and is capable of absorbing trauma such as being struck by small craft collided by a large craft without endangering such craft. The sea-friendly configurations of the floating device provide lower cost maintenance, location changes and docking ease, and allow the device to be beached for inspection or maintenance purposes. The cell mat configurations also provide cleanable surfaces for routine maintenance. The hydraulic power flow created using the cells can also serve as a pressurized water stream for applications ranging from decorative fountains to high pressure saltwater subsea hydrocarbon formation re-injection and or pressurization. The cell is resiliently deformable in all directions, providing balanced elasticity which is required in both power generation and survivability.
