The machines that use wave energy fit mostly in two categories; one which resembles a buoy and the other a sideways door with its hinges being on the sea-bed.
The buoys are vertically oscillating columns that float on the surface of the water. The regular oscillation of the ocean tides causes the buoys to bob up-and-down which drive a piston which turns an electrical generator producing electricity.
The other things can be viewed as a door hinged to the sea bed, and swings with the back-and-forth movement of ocean water. The oscillations again drive a piston which powers the generator.

What are the machines used for wave power called?
Pelamis Wave Energy Converter
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.
Why are wind and wave energy machines designed to make electricity?
no
How do you use water wave energy?
energy
When was Wave Machines created?
Wave Machines was created in 2007.

SHould you use Wave Energy?
Personally i think we should use wave energy because it well help the environment and it can be cheaper than the regular electricity and fossil fuel. SO I WOULD SAY YES TO WAVE ENERGY
What is wave parameters?
The wave parameters are the machines in which wave-leanth is mesaured.
Does a wave power station use renewable energy?
Yes, wave power is renewable.
Which energy is used in a Xerox machine?
All photocopy machines use electrical energy.
When do you use muscular energy?
to do work with or without the help of machines.
What places can use wave power?
wave energy as in tidal energy? because it is being used! in France and planned for the bay of fundy in canada. erosion does present a problem but theyre working on it. No, wave energy is different. Can be used where there are sufficient waves.
What type of energy salters duck use?
Its wave power
