NOVELTY - The apparatus has a containing unit that is provided with an elongated rigid tube (100) which is opened at both ends for containing cooler seawater during transport. A pneumatic tube is provided at the top end of the rigid tube, such that main unit floats on ocean surface. A surrounding tube is provided at the bottom end of rigid tube, such that main unit floats on vertical position. A pumping unit is arranged within rigid tube powered by wave energy for forcing cooler seawater upwards through the bottom of rigid tube and near ocean surface.    USE - Wave-driven apparatus for transporting cooler seawater from ocean surface to near ocean surface.    ADVANTAGE - The loss of usage property, loss of electrical power, loss of human life from wind, storm surge, flooding and evacuation accidents can be prevented. The economic losses from wind and water damage can be reduced. The disruption to national, regional and local product supply chains, including disruption of energy supplies can be avoided. The disruption of the daily lives of residents in risk areas and anxiety among risk population from an approaching storm can be prevented. The cost of hurricane insurance premiums, including flood insurance can be reduced. The apparatus for transporting cooler seawater from ocean surface to near ocean surface can be simplified. The survivability and maintenance free operation of the apparatus for transporting cooler seawater from ocean surface to near ocean surface can be improved by avoiding the collision in ocean vessel.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for the following:    (1) method for inhibiting formation of tropical cyclones; and    (2) method for generating electricity from wave motion.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a conceptual view illustrating the valve action of the pump system.    Elongated rigid tube (100)    One-way fixed flap valve (122)    One-way movable flap valve (124)    Drive disk (128)    Water discharge opening (168)
