What is the name of this alternative source of energy called?




I recall hearing of some source of alternative energy that was based on the motion of the waves. Basically, the waves provided the energy(no giant turbines) and these things functioned like wind mills of the sea. Everything else was blah blah. The inventor of this ingenious device was some high school or college student, I think.
Whatever it is, just tell me the name of the inventor, the name of the thing he/she made, and how it works. I may have placed this question in the wrong place because there really isn’t enough about alternative energy to devote a link to. Remember, inventor, invention and how it works.

    Hi. I once read about a device like this. It used floating cam-like bobbers that rose and fell with each wave. This turned a ratchet like mechanism which in turn drove a shaft for power. Don’t remember the name of the inventor or what it was called, but this was how it works.
