1. A wave inertial-force electricity generating apparatus, configured to receive an energy of a wave on a water surface and comprising:
a main body unit comprising a main body disposed on the water surface, a surrounding wall disposed at the main body and enclosing an accommodating space, a fixed body connected to the main body, and two stop blocks extending from the surrounding wall into the accommodating space and spaced apart from each other, wherein the main body is pushed by the wave to move with respect to the fixed body, the fixed body is configured to limit a movement range of the main body, and the two stop blocks define a corresponding first end and a second end within the accommodating space;
a mass unit comprising a mass body movably disposed in the accommodating space and located between the first end and the second end, wherein the mass body is a solid body, pushed by the main body to reciprocate along a movement path between the first end and the second end in the accommodating space; and
an energy conversion unit comprising an electricity generating module disposed in the accommodating space and located on one side of the movement path between the first end and the second end, wherein the electricity generating module has a timing belt engaged with the mass body and two gears spaced apart within the timing belt, wherein the two stop blocks are configured to limit a movement range of the mass body along the movement path between the first end and the second end, when the main body is pushed by the wave, one of the stop blocks pushes the mass body to move, and when the main body stops moving, the mass body continues to move relative to the main body along the movement path between the first end and the second end due to an inertial force and continuously drives the timing belt to rotate, the two gears transferring the inertial force of the mass body to enable the electricity generating module to generate electricity; and
the energy conversion unit further comprises an ionization module electrically connected to the electricity generating module, the electricity generating module is configured to convert the inertial force of the mass body to electricity for the ionization module to use, and the ionization module is configured to ionize water into hydrogen and oxygen.
