Tidal/Wave

The science of rotary turbine electric power generation from hydroelectric and fossil fuel sources has advanced to become the pre-eminent source of electrical power in the world for many years. However, the art of converting environmental vibrational sources of kinetic energy into electrical power via the linear electric generator (LEG), used because of its simplicity and suitability to oscillating linear vibrations, is much less developed. Vibratory sources of energy such as ocean waves contain vast amounts of clean zero carbon footprint energy that is as of yet relatively untapped. However, wave energy, the largest source of vibrational energy known, involves a very difficult operating environment and thus the development of this energy source has been problematical.
