Renewable energy from wave power

Leelananda Jayasuriya on October 27, 2007 | 606 Views

In http://www.ljsite.com  illustrated how the wobbling movement of a floating body is connected to a rack of gears and this rack of gears will move up and down. Resulting reciprocal movement is taken up by a pinion to generate oscillatory movement on a shaft. The oscillatory movement is turned to unidirectional motion using this invention. Harnessing the immense wave power in oceans can be part of the solution to energy needs.
