    Wave Power

    More news, Gav.
    Victoria's first wave power unit fully built, ready for November launch - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)


    Only 250kW but it's a start.

    You dump a V8 Dunnydore off the Victorian coast, see if it still produces 250kW.

    Great idea but two minor problems:
    1. How do we connect that to the grid?
    2. What about the declining output in Defender waves?

    I wonder how long before it joins the one sunk off Port Kembla.

    I think there is a sunk one in SA also.

    Groan, what is it with people who have to add "per hour" or "per annum" to every power output? It produces 250kW of power continuously, not per hour. It might indeed produce 250kWh per hour but that is doubly redundantly surplussedly redundant...

    Of course you're right. kW is a rate. kWh is a volume. Carry on, as you were.

    Right?

    Its the notion that a commodore in the ocean will produce its kW for more than a few moments before it hydraulics and does it without consuming or producing anything but energy!

    (even the V8 on land won't last very long at max kW)
