This is an artist's perspective of a wave energy farm feautring the Pelamisa semi-submerged, articulated structure composed of cylindrical sections linked by hinged joints that produce power by harnessing the movement of waves. Developed by Ocean Power Delivery Limited of the United Kingdom, the Pelamis, which looks like a snake (well, Pelamis really is a sea-surface snake) had been tested in the Irish coast and had been found successful!!! With that, the British government announced a 4-million pound grant to start-up what would be, the country's first wave farm!

But nothing is more thrilling than seeing the technology (and we can only imagine the intricacies of this contraption) and you may get a glimpse of that here or visit Ocean Power's website here.
