DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF GYROSCOPIC WAVE ENERGY CONVERTER

WAVE ENERGY : UNEXPLORED POTENTIAL

INTRODUCTION

The Exploitation Of Wave Energy Fits Best Due To Exhaution Of Non-renewable Energy Resources Nowadays Sun, Wind And Biomass Energy Are The Most Dominant Sources Of Sustainable Energy Due To Premature Technology Wave Energy Is Relatively Unknown According To Linear Wave Theory E=gH2 /16
