Ocean Wave Power Video

Informational video about Ocean Wave Power that uses oscillating water column technology and devices to drive water turbines using just the oceans waves.

Ocean wave energy converters capture the energy contained in the oceans waves to generate electricity. There are a wide range of oceanic wave energy devices and technologies all of which use different ways to extract the energy from the movement of the waves, with each one having its own advantages and disadvantages. Depending on the depth of water and their location, whether shoreline, near to the shore, or further out at sea will determine the type and construction of a particular wave energy device.

All wave energy technologies basically operate the same, a fixed prime mover captures the energy of the waves converting it into mechanical energy which is then converted into electrical energy before being sent to the shore to power the grid.
