Abstract

Winds are generated by the differential heating of the earth and as a result of their blowing over large areas of water; part of their energy is converted into waves. Wave energy can be considered as a concentrated form of solar energy. For shoreline wave energy converter device that have advantages of easier maintenance and installation and do not require deep-water moorings and long underwater electrical cables, several systems used to get the wave power. They are the pendulor, the convergent channel (TAPCHAN), and the oscillating water column(OWC). The theories involve the wave mechanics are the wave classification and the wave theory. Besides, the parameters such as the wave length, wave height, period and frequency been investigate and study by doing some experiment. Calculation involve in defining the total wave energy. This energy can be calculated by adding the kinetics energy with the potential energy. Devices for measuring the wave force and wave height have been used to study the wave force and the wave height. The devices used the spring and the buoy as the working mechanism. Wave tank is a laboratory setup for observing the behavior of waves. To finish this project, the fabrication work involved in developing the wave tank and the wave energy converter device been done.
