Chinese scientists are currently developing a stable electrical flow generated by waves, and by the end of this year, the team expects to build a complete wave power station.

Chinese scientists are currently developing a stable electrical flow generated by waves, and by the end of this year, the team expects to build a complete wave power station.

In the testing stage, a generator produced about 6kW, which can be used for powering lights, computers, air conditioners, and sea water desalination systems. A chief scientist estimated that a small wave power station with a total generation capacity of 50kW could supply enough electricity for an entire coastal village.
