The diagrams show a wave-powered electricity generator that uses a column of air to drive a

turbine.
The process of generating electricity from wave power involves a structure that consists of a large
chamber, which is open to the sea, and a vertical column, which is open to the atmosphere. A
turbine is installed inside this column and is used to generate electricity in both phases of the
water.
The first diagram illustrates the process of water entering the chamber when a wave approaches
the structure. This water applies pressure on the air within the column, causing it to escape
through the turbine and generate electricity.
The second diagram demonstrates the process of electricity generation during the retreating phase
of the wave. As the water level falls, outside air is drawn back in through the turbine, continuing the
electricity generation.
In conclusion, this structure is an efficient method of generating electricity from wave power as it
generates electricity during both phases of the water.
