It was first built in 1999 in Australia. It was being tested during 2008 off Fremantle, Western Australia. A float on a pump moves up and down in the waves, pumping water ashore where it is used to generate electricity or remove salt from water (desalination).

Energy that is transmitted through the universe in a wave-like motion is known as?
electromagnetic energy
Describe how forces start a wave?
by definition a wave is a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another. a force transfers energy and creates a disturbance therefor creating a wave http://seagrant.uaf.edu/marine-ed/curriculum/images/stories/grade7/wave.jpg
Wave that can transfer energy through the vacuum of space?
electromagnetic waves
What is the quantum wave model?
the quantam wave model is derived from the work of two physicists. One was Max Planck who proposed the idea of the quanta (discrete packets of energy) and the second of Albert Einstein who proposed the idea of light having both, particle and wave like properties. Hence the name "Quantam Wave".
What determines if a sound is loud or soft?
The determining factor as to the softness or loudness of a sound is the amplitude of the sound wave. We know that sound is mechanical energy, and a source of sound will put mechanical energy into the medium through which it is going to travel. Let's look at the wave. The mechanical wave has a compression phase and a rarefaction phase. In compression, the source compresses the medium to impart energy. In the rarefaction phase, the source will act to decompress the medium. The sound will propagate outward in a series of compression and decompression phases. The difference between a loud and a softer sound is the degree to which a medium is compressed and rarefied during the process by which the sound energy is put into the medium. Fortunately there is a question (and an answer) that goes into this in a bit of detail. It is linked in the Related questions section.
What is another sentence for ocean energy?
In California they have developed a system to obtain energy from the waves, the system is called Pelamis Wave Energy Convertor.
What are energy transformation in a telephone?
The telephone system converts acoustic energy into electric energy
Will CETO wave energy run homes not just the desalination plant?
Yes CETO will be able to power both hydro electricity generators and desal plants - any proportion of either. Eg; 20% desal, 80% electricity.Essentially they have a 1000psi salt water supply, and they can choose to direct/split that anywhere they like.Very high potential technology IMO, not least because of the booming popularity of desalination plants around the world.
What is a energy wave?
it is a wave that is formed by energy
Which wave carry energy?
Any wave carries energy.
Is the Pro Wave energy system a hoax?
The Pro Wave energy system is a form of bioelectric purifier, also called zappers. In general, and not talking about Pro Wave specifically, they claim that they are useful for cleansing the body of harmful bacteria and viruses. Though some say they will not work, many people who have used them have found they do work.
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.
What are the disadvantages and advantages of wave energy?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of wave energy
How waves transmits energy?
wave transmitt energy the the force that the wave has
