Power generation by ocean waves (II) : electric generator

Power generation is an ever growing concern due to the over reliance of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are non-renewable and are limited in supply. Furthermore, excessive burning of fossil fuels brings detrimental effects to the environment. Therefore, it is important to find an alternative source of en...
