Abstract
Model tests at M.I.T. have indicated that the camtype
wave power generator is capable of high efficiencies
of energy extraction from ocean waves. This report presents
a design methodology for determining costs of energy produced
from wave power generators. Feasible designs were developed
for ocean locations around the coast of the United States
with the resulting breakeven costs with oil ranging from
14 to 30 $/BBL.
