The pressure changes within a medium cause the wave energy to transfer to higher harmonics.
The potential wave energy on coastlines can provide 1/5 of world demand.
It is only the wave energy itself that traverses the whole pipe during a single cycle.
The shape of the bay focuses wave energy at the location.
Nevertheless, wave energy has a great future, particularly for island communities.
The review of wave energy currently under way is due to report early next year.
This difference allows wave energy to be harvested to produce forward thrust.
Therefore there is no wave energy reflected back to the radar receiver.
The estuary functions primarily as a result of wave energy.
'Carries a lot of the wave energy away,' he said.
Tides are more predictable than wave power or wind power.
Globalization, now a popular concept, was an idea he championed, along with the development of wind, solar and wave power.
The major competitor of wave power is offshore wind power.
These pressure fluctuations at greater depth are too small to be interesting from the point of view of wave power.
The north and south temperate zones have the best sites for capturing wave power.
A large category of projects (mostly unrealized) was based on wave power, for example.
Most public subsidies for clean energy sources like solar, wind and wave power were set by the Labour government that left office last year.
Many experts say they believe that wave power at best can provide only a small part of overall energy needs.
With currently available technology, wave power is useful only for small communities.
Other methods of power supply are being considered for future development, such as wave power and wind power.
