a new system generates energy from waves

  
British scientists revealed on a new system for generating energy from sea waves. The device, called Anaconda, "a kind of big snakes," the latest idea in the exploitation of sea power. 

Quoted by BBC as saying that the designers Anaconda secret of success lies in its simplicity, it is nothing more than a rubber tube filled with water. Waves and generate force in the swelling water along the pipeline and move through it, which brings together energy, pay at the end of the pipeline shipment of energy turbines Vttold electricity. Has been developed by the Anaconda Company, "Cikamit Sionerjee", which tested a miniature eight-meter-long reservoir in which the waves emitted. According to Powell, president of Aston Cikamit tests proved the possibility of applying the idea. The company is now for seven million pounds from investors to build a model of the largest organ of the experience at sea. The Aston told the BBC that Britain was known for excellence in the field of engineering and politicians from both parties are keen to encourage companies to offer renewable energy projects can be marketed throughout the world. Astute and said "we have invented to change the traditional thinking and can help to achieve the Government's objectives to reduce carbon dioxide," said Professor René Roed Co The advantage of the invention is the continuity of wave energy, but added that the problem could be hampered by disruption of the body with the passage of Anaconda time due to the harsh ocean environment. The Ren "Anaconda is not mechanical, it is primarily of rubber, natural material with natural flexibility, and therefore has only a few parts can be moved to reform." The plan calls for long-term establishment of this body of hundreds on the coast where the waves as strong as in the north coast of Scotland or America, Australia, Ireland and Japan. It is believed that the body 50 of the Anaconda in size of the final 200 meters, capable of supplying electricity to 50 homes. According to Professor Godfrey Boyle, Renewable Energy a new invention that seems promising. But he warned that the system developers to achieve the high age and a high degree of reliability required to stand for decades to receive a wave strikes, in addition to the lack of required capital and maintenance costs and effectiveness of energy conversion.
