Details: Click Here to see the complete free science fair project " Which Type of Ocean Wave Energy Converter Produces the Most Power?" The student built a wave making device and three other devices to convert the wave motion into energy. The three devices he constructed to convert the wave motion into energy were an oscillating water column, a ramped surge device and a nodding float. This is a complete project with graphs, pictures and a very detailed report.
