How to utilize waves to generate electricity?

To use the waves to generate electricity, the key is to explore the laws of wave motion changes, timely and accurate wave energy "collection", to be utilized. This requires people to design and test the wave power generation device must be able to fully large area of the wave energy to be absorbed, and concentrated into mechanical energy, and then drive the generator to run out of electricity. At the same time, the power generation device is required to be strong and sturdy, in order to resist the impact of the waves. In order to study this device, many marine scientists have carried out long-term repeated exploration and experimentation. As early as 1799, the French began to design and develop the wave energy conversion device, through more than 100 years of testing, and finally in 1911 built the world's first wave power generation device. 1965, the wave power generation device as a navigational and lighthouse power began to work in the actual use.
