The simple answer: The Pelamis wave energy converter absorbs the energy from ocean waves and converts it into electricity. Waves make the Pelamis wiggle on the surface of the sea like a snake, and the motion at each joint is captured through a hydraulic system. The detailed answer (from their brochure): The Pelamis is an offshore wave energy converter, typically installed 2-10km from the coast in deep water. The Pelamis machine is made up of a number of tubes floating on the surface of the water, linked by universal joints which allow flexing in all directions. As waves pass down the length of the machine and cause the joints between these sections to bend the movement is converted into electricity via hydraulic power take-off systems housed inside each joint of the machine tubes. Hydraulic cylinders resist the wave-induced motion and pump fluid into high pressure accumulators, allowing electricity to be smooth and continuous. Each of the power take-off units are identical, and operate independently from each other with redundancy of all main components. Power is transmitted to shore using standard subsea cables. The joints of the machine can be actively controlled to make use of the phenomenon of resonance. Control of the resistance applied by the hydraulic cylinders allows generation to be maximised when waves are small, and the machine response to be minimised in storms. Importantly, the default or natural condition of the machine is benign and non-resonant, and so inherently capable of dealing with extreme conditions.

wave power is efficient.
A wave power machine is a generator that is powered by wave power. This is a piece of equipment that converts wave variances in a body of water and converts this into electric power.
