Best Answer

A wave in the ocean, or any body of water, is created by some form of energy and contains that energy in the form of moving water. An object that would float on top of the water could be connected to a generating source in such a way as to provide resistance to that wave. If the material stays floating, energy will be absorbed from the moving wave and into the rising object. The resistance could be converted into useable forms of energy. Large waves could provide a fair amount of power by absorbing this wave energy.
