Excerpt

Of the “implemented” systems to extract energy from the ocean, power from the waves is perhaps the one that has received most attention during the 20th century, from Pacifica (California) to Royan (France). The number of patents taken out, and of systems proposed, is impressive. Projects are being examined in several locations in Asia and the Pacific Ocean, in Canada and in Europe. Waves are considered a “small energy source” that can be profitably tapped by industrialized and less-developed countries alike. …
