Wave Energy - GCSE Physics

🦊 In this GCSE Physics video, we explain how wind energy generates water waves, transferring kinetic energy to the ocean surface. This kinetic energy can be harnessed through buoys that convert wave motion into electricity by moving up and down with the waves, driving generators. While wave energy is clean, renewable, and capable of producing large amounts of electricity, it is still developing, can disrupt shipping routes, and is somewhat weather dependent.
