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.
The energy of a sound wave relates to its?
The energy of a sound wave is related to its amplitude, which is the measure of the magnitude of the fluctuations in air pressure created by the wave. The greater the amplitude of the sound wave, the higher its energy level.
How is a wave created and what factors contribute to its formation?
A wave is created when energy is transferred through a medium, causing particles to oscillate back and forth. Factors that contribute to wave formation include the energy source, the medium through which the wave travels, and the properties of the medium such as density and elasticity.
A mechanical wave is created when a medium?
A mechanical wave is created when a medium is disturbed and transmits energy through its particles. The particles of the medium vibrate back and forth in the direction of the wave's propagation, transferring energy from one particle to the next.
How is the wind energy gathered and or created?
Wind energy is gathered by using wind turbines, which have blades that rotate and capture the kinetic energy of the wind. The spinning blades turn a shaft, which connects to a generator to produce electricity. Wind energy is created by the movement of air masses on Earth's surface, generated by the uneven heating of the Earth by the sun.
When was Pelamis Wave Energy Converter created?
Pelamis Wave Energy Converter was created in 2007.
When was Oyster wave energy converter created?
Oyster wave energy converter was created in 2009.
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.

When was We Are Gathered Here Today created?
We Are Gathered Here Today was created in 2004.
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?
If the energy is increased but not the speed of the motion, the amplitude of the wave will increase. This means that the peaks and troughs of the wave will become larger, resulting in a more pronounced wave pattern.
What is created when a source of energy causes a vibration to travel through a medium?
A wave.
What is a energy wave?
it is a wave that is formed by energy
