Description

Title of the invention

SEA WAVE ENERGY CONVERTER

Back ground of the invention Conventionally electricity generates from coal, gas, other hydro carbons and nuclear fission energy as a fuel in thermal power station, the resources of these fuels are limited. They pollute the environment by emitting harmful gases, heat and wastes. Where, other energy sources like wind, hydro and solar are in use as a renewable energy. Sea wave energy belongs to renewable, green/clean, pollution free energy sources. Its net potential is equal to or better than wind, solar, small hydro or biomass power. But in practice, ocean wave are very rarely used as compare to others, forward and backward motion of waves can be captured and converted to generate electricity.

Sea waves get their energy from the wind. Wind comes from solar energy. Waves gather, store and transmit this energy thousands of miles with little loss. As long as the sun shines, wave energy will never be depleted. It varies in intensity, but it is available twenty four hours a day, 365 days a year.

Water is denser than air, approximately 850 times. Although, water moving 12 miles/hour exert about the same amount of force as a constant 110 miles/hour wind. Thus, waves contain an "enormous amount" of energy.
