Engineers have developed wave energy technology that could help to produce low-cost electricity for thousands of households.
In an announcement Wednesday, the University of Edinburgh said that the device could convert wave power into electricity and had been designed “to be incorporated into existing ocean energy systems.”
Experiments in an ocean simulator have shown that one full-size device was able to produce the equivalent of 500 kilowatts, the university added. This represents enough electricity for roughly 100 houses.
