Wave Energy

A snake-like a tube floating in the ocean could prove that wave energy conversion is an economically viable solution to meet our power needs.

At least that’s what the creators of the "Anaconda" device are hoping. Designed in the UK by Francis Farley and Rod Rainey, the "Anaconda" is a very simple giant (200 meter long and 7 meter diameter) rubber tube that generates energy by simply bobbing up and down in the water.
