What is a wave energy machine?

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.


What information would you use to calculate the efficiency of a machine?

To calculate the efficiency of a machine, you would need information such as the input work or energy applied to the machine and the output work or energy generated by the machine. Efficiency is typically calculated by dividing the output work or energy by the input work or energy and multiplying by 100 to express it as a percentage.


SHould you use Wave Energy?

Wave energy can be a sustainable source of renewable energy as it is abundant and predictable. However, the technology for harnessing wave energy is still in the early stages of development and can be expensive to implement. It is worth considering alongside other renewable energy sources as part of a diversified energy portfolio.


Where does the electrical energy produced through wave energy come from?

Electrical energy produced through wave energy comes from the kinetic energy of the waves in the ocean. This kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy through devices such as wave turbines or wave energy converters.


How can you find the energy of a wave using the appropriate formula or calculation method?

To find the energy of a wave, you can use the formula: Energy 0.5 x mass x velocity2. This formula calculates the kinetic energy of the wave based on its mass and velocity. By plugging in the values for mass and velocity, you can determine the energy of the wave.

Is it possible to use a simple machine and do less work than you would have done without the machine?

That isn't possible, not with a simple machine and not with a complicated machine, since otherwise, conservation of energy would be violated.


Is the hair wave machine invented by Marjorie Joyner still in use today?

The wave machine is not used anymore and is now a thing we like to call hair curler.


Does a wave power station use renewable energy?

Yes, a wave power station uses renewable energy, as it captures the energy from ocean waves and converts it into electricity. Waves are a natural and sustainable energy source that does not deplete with use.


Are lights a machine?

yes its a machine...it use energy and giv us light.......

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.
