The performance of an oscillating water column device with L-shape chamber has been investigated experimentally to explore beneficial aspects of the implemented geometrical configuration. This work is mainly focused on the assessment of the primary efficiency as well as the amplification factor of the device. The obtained results revealed that the wave characteristics have prominent effects on the device performance which is improved in the frequency ranges near to the natural frequency of the system by reducing the immersion depth of the device.
