The diagrams show the design for a wave-energy machine and its location.

The diagrams illustrate the interior design of a wave-energy machine along with the
possible locations to install the machine.
As can be seen from the first diagram, the wave-energy machine is constituted of two
main chambers linked with each other via two air passages. The turbine is placed in
the upper chamber while the lower chamber is partly submerged in the sea wate.
Wave-energy machine is divided in to two chambers, top chamber and bottom
chamber. Top chamber consists of a turbine which is attached to the electricity
generator and vents which allows air flow. Bottom chamber consists of water of
certain level and an outlet to pass the wave. When the electricity generator is turned
on, the turbine starts to spin, which lets the air flow from top chamber to bottom
chamber that allows to create ample force to generate a wave. The nearer the machine
is to mainland, the lower the output, with the best energy generators being far away
from land. Coincidentally, machines with lower output also requires lower costs to
install. Overall, the wave-energy machine utilises wave energy to generate electricity.
The location of installation, however, creates a difference in administrative costs and
output level.
