Wave energy:
One design uses the up-and-down motion of the waves. It resembles a very-large-diameter pipe in short segments, but only able to move vertically, similar to a bicycle chain. The power is generated in the junction of the "links" by the vertical movement of these adjoining "links" caused by the oscillation of the waves. It generates power 24 hours/day, is not affected by tides, and does not have to be built in the actual estuaries. However, it is subject to storm and cyclone damage, and as they are semi-submerged often ships can't see them until it is too late to avoid.

What are the machines used for wave power called?
Pelamis Wave Energy Converter
What are some examples of wave energy?
sound energy
Why are wind and wave energy machines designed to make electricity?
no
When was Wave Machines created?
Wave Machines was created in 2007.
Where does the electrical energy produced through wave energy come from?
The water in the sea rises and falls because of waves on the surface. Wave machines use the kinetic energy in this movement to drive electricity generators.

Can you give some examples of potential energy?
A parked car is potential energy =]- aim wave ; twinxlocksxin
What is wave parameters?
The wave parameters are the machines in which wave-leanth is mesaured.
Name 5 examples of Renewable energy?
solar wave water wind corn ethanol
Mechanical waves use matter to transfer energy?
Well, yes and no. Mechanical energy is usually converted from chemical energy into machines. However, the waves are usually in the form of informational waves, like internet cords and computer-based cords.
How does natural resource like wind work?
There are machines built that harvest natural energy for human use. Some examples include hydroelectric energy, wind energy, and solar energy.
What is a Mechanical waves?
A mechanical wave is a disturbance (an oscillation) that moves through a medium. The source transfers mechanical energy into the medium itself, and the medium propagates the energy of the wave. Examples are sound and an earthquake, and a tsunami.
