Electricity from Sea Waves ???
March 3rd, 2007 by KostakissThe need for renewable energy sources and “green” power resources becomes more and more necessary with the global warming effects getting more obvious. Apart from the wind farms and the solar panel systems, an alternative way of producing electricity with no CO2 emissions is using the huge amount of energy carried by the sea waves. There is an interesting article provided by BBC about a promising project by Scottish engineers, which I think it will be expanded soon to many countries.
It is also amazing the fact that 40 machines may be deployed in an area of one square kilometer, which is considerably low, providing power to 20,000 homes.

It is such a great project - invention!The most important thing of this way of providing electricity is that there is no CO2 emissions that they are considered bad for our health!

I agree with Pelopidas that this is a human “friendly” solution for providing electricity to homes.Also, I was amazed by reading the whole article in BBC.
Well done to those who invented something like this!

I cannot understand such a technical subject but it is obvious that the basic idea is that electricity would be produced without the undesired emissions. That’s great news!!!

Reee,
For those worrying about CO2 emissions, better stop using your cars for going to the shop to buy a kebab 50 meters away from your home. Use your foot, your bike or ride your girlfriend. Or even better use the wind power (sail) instead of buying a inflatable boat with a 150 horse power engine …
