Disclosed is a system and method for generating and storing energy from water waves. Oscillatory motions of a floating base are transmitted to adjustable weights enclosed in a container suspended from a frame that is rigidly installed inside the floating base. The container is operably coupled to a sheave, via a crank. The movement of the adjustable weights in the container results in the movement of a sheave that is operably coupled to an output shaft that is in turn coupled to an electric generator via a network of gears. The generator supplies power to an electrolyzer producing hydrogen and oxygen from water. The hydrogen and oxygen are compressed into gas or liquid and stored in containers on-board the floating base, until they are off-loaded at a facility. 11132353152404243343337363534521435451339384144. An apparatus for converting water wave energy into usable electrical energy , said apparatus comprising: a floating base that is floating on a surface of a large body of water having water waves , said floating base moving upward and downward in response to said water waves; said floating base includes an upper surface that is configured and adapted to house more than one large unit of items and a lower surface that is configured and adapted to float on said large body of water without capsizing; a rigid stable frame that is substantially vertically disposed and firmly affixed on to said upper surface of said floating base; a sheave that is substantially vertically operably coupled to a supporting horizontal member of said rigid stable frame , said sheave being configured to vertically rotate around an axis of rotation on a bearing ; adjustable weights , suspended from said horizontal supporting member of said rigid stable frame , said adjustable weights being enclosed in a container , said container being operably coupled to said horizontal supporting member of said rigid stable frame by a least one suspension spring capable of contracting and expanding ...
