POSSIBILITY OF LARGE ELECTRIC OUTPUT BY FLOATING TYPE SEA WAVE ELECTRIC GENERATOR

The paper reports on a laboratory study of electrical output from a large, floating Sea Wave Electric Generator (SWEG). Such units convert sea wave power into electric power, and small units are already in use powering buoys and lighthouses in Japan. Based on the study tests, it is concluded that most of the sea wave energy can be absorbed, and it will be possible to make large SWEG units.
