The diagrams describe a machine for generating electricity from waves and the possible

places where it can be installed.


The structure of the machine is composed of two chambers, one above the other. The first
step in the process is the wave goes into the lower chamber, and this makes the water
level inside the chamber rises. Next, the air is pushed up into the chamber above. When
the air goes through the upper chamber, it turns a turbine which is connected to a
generator. 
After that, when the wave goes down, the air is sucked in from outside and once again
this turns the turbine. 
The machine can be placed close to the coast, where can be installed at a lower cost.
However, waves near the coast have low output and is weak, so less electricity is
produced. Alternatively, the machine can be installed far from the coast where the waves
are larger, therefore more electricity can be generated. But in this case, it will take a lot of
money to install. 
In general, the machine is an easy way to produce electricity from renewable energy. The
installation locations determine the amount of electricity produced and the cost.
