Wave energy isn't really gathered. It exists because objects are locked in equilibria with potential for potential energy. i essence, they exist statically with the possibility of forces acting on them from objects they are "coupled to" once a force acts on on of the objects, it will exert forces on objects it is coupled to (objects that have the potential for potential energy) and a wave is propagated
example: mass connected to a spring connected to a mass connected to a spring etc
If anyone of the masses is displaced, suddenly, spring forces will be exerted on masses the mass is coupled to. a wave will form. light waves are plane waves that occur with ripples in electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to each other.
read The Physics of Waves by Howard Georgi for more information.
AnswerOne kind of machine that "harvests" wave energy uses a floating device that houses a turbine. The wave action forces water back and forth through the turbine, spinning a generator creating electricity. Others use the wave action to move a piston that turns a generator.

When was Oyster wave energy converter created?
Oyster wave energy converter was created in 2009.
How is the wind energy gathered and or created?
you cant STORE WIND ENERGY FOR LATER USE
How could you prove experimentally that energy is associated with wave?
Measure the motion of matter created by the mechanical wave, or measure the temperature change of matter created by the electromagnetic wave.
A wave is created by moving a rope up and down the energy is increased but not he speed of the motion What will happen to the wave?
The amplitude of the wave increases.
What is the abillity to do work called?
The ability to do work is called "Energy" from what I've gathered.

How is energy gathered in renewable energy?
Can be with wind turbines, solar panels, hydro schemes, biomass combustion, methane generated by refuse decay. Other schemes possible but not really commercial yet: wave power, tidal flows, tidal barrages.
