I’ve been talking to friends about how the waves can be tapped for electrical power here in the Philippines. I was telling them that the up and down motion of the waves can be used to drive a piston which would then drive a generator. The idea isn’t new, I’ve heard of it before but I was just wondering why it’s not being used in the country.

Now, the world’s first wave farm is up and running in Portugal. The Philippines could have done it if budget was allocated to it.

It’s free energy and is definitely eco-friendly. The Agucadoura which consists of three wave energy converters just like the one above currently produces a total of 2.25MW of electricity. Need more power? Just add more wave energy converters. I think I should build one of these when I get a house by the beach.
