Waves for Energy



Waves for energy? This idea almost seems too simple. That's the point. All it is, is a type of generator that is perpindicular to the water flow. This relative motion helps drive electromechanical or hydrolic energy convertors. Although this seems easy enough it is harder than it looks. There is tremendous energy in waves, but these would only be able to be placed in certain waters because of the huge wave fluctuations.
