PRESENTATION OUTLINE
WAVE ENERGY
- Wave energy uses the movement
- of the ocean to generate
- electricity. This is a clean source
- that we can use from something
- natural, that way we don't harm the earth.

HOW DOES THIS TECHNOLOGY WORK
- It is a long tube, you place it in
- the water and it harnesses the
- waves from the water. Then it
- transfers the energy from the waves
- to energy that we can use.

HOW COULD THIS TECHNOLOGY SOURCE BE USED
- Electricity generators are place out in
- the ocean, then they measure the wave
- height, the density, the length, and the speed.
- Based on those factors, we get energy from the
- generators.

WHAT ARE SOME EXAMPLE OF ITS CURRENT USE
- Right now it's current use
- is getting energy from a
- Natural energy source.

WHAT EFFECT DOES IT HAVE ON THE ENVIRONMENT
- Wave energy has a good
- effect on the environment
- because it's a natural source
- so it does not harm the
- environment.

IS THIS TECHNOLOGY WIDELY ACCEPTED TODAY?
- Wave energy has a density of
- 800x wind does. It gives
- much more energy then wind
- does, so yes it is widely used
- by seaside countries.

POSITIVES AND NEGATIVES TO ITS USE
- The positives include that it
- is a clean power source.
