a wave energy machine is a device which extracts kinetic energy from water (sea, oceans) waves and uses it to make electricity (or perhaps hydrogen). Sometimes it's abbreviated to WEC (Wave Energy Converter). There are lots of different types so I would have a look at a few web sites for more details... try Ocean Power Technologies (oceanpowertech.com) as a good example of a point absorber type of device.

How does wave energy help us?
It does not yet. The energy in (sea) water waves comes from the wind. It is difficult to harness wave energy due to the corrosive nature of seawater and the propensity for life to grow on the machinery. Also in storm conditions the machinery can be damaged. People are still trying to design a goo wave energy machine.
Where would you use a wave energy machine?
You use it at the sea bed or at a buoy, or bout...sorry cant spell it. :)
What is example of a mechanical wave Apex?
A wave generated by a machine
What does the energy of the wave pulse depend on?
The energy of the wave pulse depends on wave length and frequency.
What transports energy?
A wave transports energy. The greater the energy, the greater the amplitude of the wave.

What is a energy wave?
it is a wave that is formed by energy
How can you find a new Lava brand wave machine?
i wont to buy a lava wave machine
What does a wave power machine do?
A wave power machine is a generator that is powered by wave power. This is a piece of equipment that converts wave variances in a body of water and converts this into electric power.
Which wave carry energy?
Any wave carries energy.
What is example of a mechanical wave Apex?
A wave generated by a machine
What does the energy of the wave pulse depend on?
The energy of the wave pulse depends on wave length and frequency.
What transports energy?
A wave transports energy. The greater the energy, the greater the amplitude of the wave.
When A wave transfers energy true or false?
The answer is true. The greater the energy the greater the amplitude.
What type of waves has the least amount of energy?
The type of wave that has the least amount of energy is the longitudinal wave. In contrast, the wave with the most amount of energy is a seismic wave.
