The diagrams below show a structure that is used to generate electricity from wave power.

The diagrams illustrate how wave power is used to produce electrical power.

Overall

, it can be seen that electricity is generated using two different techniques through the movement of

waves

.

To begin

with, a pair of

columns

and the chamber are mounted to the cliff or the sea wall in order to balance

air

movement which comes from a rise of

waves

. The bottoms of both

columns

are connected to the chamber which makes the

columns

stand parallel. When the level of a wave is increased, the turbine located in between

columns

begins to spin in a clockwise direction through rising

air

. After that, electricity is generated inside of the block which is mounted to the land and column system. In the second process, the structure is the same as the first one.

However

,

this

process commences when

waves

begin to move in the opposite direction, after which

air

also

moves downward

in contrast

to that of the first diagram.

Although

in the second procedure, the movements of

waves

and

air

are opposite to the first one, the direction of the turbine remains the same and continues to generate electricity.
