Where does wave energy come from?
Wave energy comes from the wind transferring its energy to the surface of the ocean, creating waves. These waves carry kinetic energy that can be harnessed and converted into electricity using wave energy converters.
What kind of waves are used to penetrate solids and are used in doctor's offices and as airports?
Gamma waves
What is the difference between Hydro Electricity and Wave Power?
Yes, hydro come from the Greek word for water, and wave power is classed as hydro power. Other kinds of hydro power are produced from the movement of water through dams, tides and rivers.
A decibel isn't a definite amount of anything. It's a unit used to compare
two powers.
1 decibel more = 25.89% more power
3 decibels more = twice as much power
3 decibels less = half as much power
10 decibels more = 10 times as much power
10 decibels less = 0.1 as much power
20 decibels more = 100 times as much power
You don't know how much any number of decibels is until you know
what it's compared to.

What is the wave power impact on the environment?
lol I am biased towards the positive effects. Wave power is clean and has large potential for places with long coastlines, such as New Zealand. The systems are usually moored out to sea, so should not effect recreational use of the ocean greatly. Environmentally, there is little to worry about, since the hydraulic oils used can be biodegradable. On the negative side - maybe some dumb fish could get mashed up. Also, some people have been known to mistake wave energy systems for overturned boats. lol
How much electricity does a power station produce?
Power station output varies widely as a function of what is being used as a power source. There are upper limits like the number of turbines that can take advantage of water behind a dam. Too many turbines will draw the water level down quickly and output will diminish. Nuclear reactors can be constructed that are "so big" and are designed with an upper limit on size. Only by adding more reactors can output be increased. Same with coal fired power plants. That's the upper limit as regards commercial power plants. Lower limits on power stations will follow dictates of economy and availability of energy resources. Commercial power plants produce anything from a few kilowatts to several megawatts or several tens of megawatts. There are a number of variables, and they can be assessed with some thought. Use the link below to the Wikipedia article on power stations and check out those variables.
How much produces the highest electricity in hydro generator?
typical power plant generators produce from 50KVAC to 150KVAC regardless if they are hydro, coal, natural gas, etc.
What are energy transformations in a tidal wave power station?
There are no tidal wave power stations.
Tidal waves are unpredictable. There is no way at present to capture their energy. We can capture the energy of tides and also of waves, but not of tidal waves.
What are some advantages of 3-phase power over 1-phase power?
There are several advantages of 3-phase power over single phase power. First, with 3-phase power, more power can be transferred with the same amount of wire (meaning the amount of copper used in all of the conductors transferring that power) as with single or 2-phase power. Also, power is transferred more "evenly" with 3-phase power because the "next peak" is closer than it is with single and 2-phase power. The 3-phase motors run more smoothly than those run on fewer phases. Also, there are motor design considerations (one being control of the direction of rotation) regarding the motor that make 3-phase power more attractive. Use the link to the Wikipedia article on 3-phase power and skim it. It isn't long and it is quite readable.
What are some hydroelectric energy facts?
Something intresting about elctrical energy Half the elctrical energy in the U.S.A Is fossil fuel powered. Or if that isn't Intresting enough in each bolt of lightning there is one billion volts of electicity. Also ,If your hair stands up in a storm, it could be a bad sign that positive charges are rising through you, reaching toward the negatively charged part of the storm. I Hope that's enough to answer your question
Why does wave power depend on the sun?
The Sun is the source of almost all the energy we use on Earth. Wind is caused by the Sun heating up the Earth, ie air above land heats up quickly, rises and is replaced by colder air from the sea, which makes a wind called a convection current. This makes the waves used in wave power.
What are four features formed by wave erosion along a coast?
Wave-cut cliffs Which are cliffs made by waves, Sea caves that are hollow caves made by waves off a wave-cut cliff,Beaches (I think you know what that is!), and Sea-arches Formed when sea caves on either side of a head land join.
How can you make my wave 125 faster?
To make your Wave 125 faster, you can consider upgrading the air filter and exhaust system, tuning the carburetor for optimal performance, installing a performance camshaft, and using a higher-octane fuel for better combustion. Additionally, ensuring regular maintenance and adjusting the gear ratios can also enhance the overall speed and acceleration of your bike.
Where have wave's energy been used successfully for electricity?
The world's first commercial wave farm is based in Portugal, at the Aguçadora Wave Park, with a capacity of 2.25MW.
It will soon be expanded to give it a capacity of 21MW.
There are other pilot schemes of various designs all over the world.
you may not know this but sea cliffs are made by rock and many other minerals
What is continuous wave power?
In communications, a continuous frequency voltage or electromagnetic wave capable of being modulated or impressed with a second signal which carries the information to is transmitted.
a streched string is a wave in itself though stationary when it is plucked the strongest force creates the most audible wave form which is then modified by concomintant wave(e.g.,guitar);I like the eirst two relevant answers better:they're probably right
