Background of Relevant Arts or Science

Figure 1 cites Patent No. US 8466575 B2 and discloses inventions related to the propulsion device powered by wave energy for power plants which use wave energy for cylinder propulsion to pump and inject oil to create energy to drive power generators by using wave boards to direct waves and cylinders to work. There is only one wave board and one cylinder resulting in low propulsion. This invention was designed to have two cylinders placed in opposite directions functioning to pump sufficient amounts of oil to the pressure building pipe to enable the hydraulic pump to inject oil to power the power generator. The two cylinders were placed opposite one another to build momentum and centrifugal force. There is an upper weighing tank for building centrifugal force following wave energy, enabling the two cylinders placed opposite one another to switch functions according to wave energy.

In addition, I have also cited my Patent Request No. 1501000815, which has the first buoy installed on the first side to resist wave energy and the second buoy installed on the second side to resist wave energy. The first and second buoys will move according to wave energy and function to propel the wheel. This has a disadvantage in that the propelled wheel is insufficient for generating electricity.
