Currently a huge amount of time and money is being invested in the research, development and implementation of technologies to exploit renewable energy sources; it is estimated that £95-billion was invested in new renewable capacity in 2009 alone. [1] In the Department of Energy and Climate Change’s 2009 report plans were set out to raise the production of  energy from renewables to 30% of the total; some believe that electricity harnessed from wave power could be the solution to meeting these goals.

For my course on mechanical engineering at the university of bath I was tasked to create a website exploring a topic from a list of possibilities. I chose to investigate wave energy and my final project can be found here:
