The diagrams illustrate the mechanism of a wave-energy machine and alternatives for placement location.
Overall
, the machine consists of five compartments with a two-motor turbine in the middle of the upper four compartments and an electricity generator attached to the core of the turbine. For placement, there are two options, that are different based on installation cost and productivity.

Firstly
, when a wave pushes water into the large lower chamber, the water level rises, which pushes airflow upwards to the next chamber above and spins the lower motor. Meanwhile, the top compartment allows external air in and spins the other motor. Afterwards, the electricity generator Linking Words
that is
connected to the turbine transforms the energy into electricity.
As for the location, installing deep in the ocean, where the waves are large, results in a higher amount of energy produced. Linking Words
However
, the cost of placement in the deeper sea is Linking Words
also
more expensive, compared to placing near the shore.Linking Words
