Papers

1. Feasibility of Wave and Tidal Power (Cornell)
   Suggests that wave power may never be economically feasible, but that tidal power may be harnessed in limited locations. 7-01
2. Hydroelectric Energy (Australian Renewable Energy Website)
   Describes and provides diagrams of types of hydroelectric generators. Also spelled hydro-electric. 12-00
3. Hydroelectric Generators (SolarElectric)
   Provides small hydroelectric generators, suitable for residential use. Awesome Library provides this as an example of the technology and has no knowledge of the product's quality or the company's reputation. Sometimes visitors misspell as hydro-electric or hydro electric. 5-01
4. Renewable Energy (U.S. Department of Energy)
   The Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Network (EREN) describes the various forms of renewable energy, such as biomass (ethanol, methanol, and biodiesel), photovoltaic, solar, wind power, methane (from trash), hydropower, and geothermal. 6-01
5. Wave Buoy (IPS OWEC)
   Describes an off-shore wave power generator that the authors claim is more cost-efficient than wind power. 7-01
6. Wave Energy Generator - Archimedes Project Wave Swing (CADDET)
   Provides information about a functioning wave energy generator that generates electricity by the vertical movement of waves. An average wave is 120 m long and generates 100 kW/m of wave front in high seas. 1-01

    Describes and provides diagrams of types of tidal energy generators. 12-00
11. Wave Power - Types (ACRE)
    Describes types of wave-based sources of electricty, including Salter's Duck, TAPCHAN, and ocscillating water columns. 12-00
12. Wave Power - Types (Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Network)
    Describes types of wave-based sources of electricty, including tidal, wave, and ocean thermal energy conversion systems. 12-00
13. Wave Power - Types (Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Network)
    Describes types of wave-based sources of electricty, including wave surge or focusing devices, ocscillating water columns, and floats or pitching devices. 12-00
