There lies humongous energy in the ocean waves, so the scientists for a long time ago have been looking for the methods, how to get that energy. It is estimated, that there could be theoretically obtained from 100 to 200 megawatts of energy in one rolling sea coast's kilometer, it means that moderately- 5 kW/m2.
That to make it easier to imagine what amount of energy it is, we could compare it with wind energy. From the wind we could get about 0,7 kW/m2 of energy.
However, it is difficult process to create an effective mechanism, which would change wave's energy into electricity. One of the most aggravating factors of this process is the linear movement of the wave conversion to rotational. This is why longitudinal movement generator was invented. On purpose, that it would work, there is necessary linear movement instead rotational. Meanwhile, surge gives exactly movement, which is necessary. This generator solves the problem of complicated mechanical constructions. This is one more step towards appliance of wave's energy.
