But developing new devices to capture wave energy can be difficult. Wave capture machines must operate in oceans.

但开发能捕捉海浪能源的新设备会很艰难，海浪捕捉机器必须在海洋中运转。

Salt marshes and mangroves in tidal zones can reduce wave heights and total wave energy by more than 50%.

潮汐区的盐沼和红树林可以将波高和总波能降低 50% 以上。

" We're always trying to reduce wave energy while shielding the shoreline, " said Tim Dillingham, the group's director.

“我们一直在努力减少海浪能量，同时保护海岸线，”该组织的负责人蒂姆·迪林厄姆说。

Other wave energy projects float directly on waves.

其他波浪能项目直接漂浮在波浪上。

All of this together tells us that a wave's energy is proportional to its amplitude, squared.

这一切都告诉我们，波的能量 什么与它的平方体积成正比。

All of this together tells us that a wave’s energy is proportional to its amplitude, squared.

所有这些共同告诉我们，波的 能量与其振幅成正比，即平方。

Instead, when a wave of light hits the sea of electrons, the electrons absorb the light wave's energy, which makes them wobble a little.

而是当一束光照射到电子海时，电子吸收光能，这使得它们轻微的震荡。

Machines at the pool can create ocean-size waves. Mr. Zayas says the models will be tested to show how much ocean wave energy they can capture.

池子里的机器能制造海洋那样的波浪，萨亚斯说将测试这些模型能捕捉多少能源。

Instead, when a wave of light hits the sea of electrons, the electrons absorb the light wave’s energy, which makes them wobble a little.

相反，当光波撞击电子海时， 电子会吸收光波的能量，从而使它们稍微摆动。

If you have an oyster reef that's " intertidal" — that sticks up at low tide — then it can perform some of that wave energy protection function.

如果在“潮间带”有一个牡蛎礁——在低潮期时它会竖起突出——那么它就可以发挥一些波浪能量保护功能。

“So in general the available resource of wave energy is in the order of 15 percent of the global energy demand, which is a lot.”

“因此，总的来说，可用的波浪能资源大约占全球能源需求的 15%， 这是一个很大的数字。

Near the shore, the shallower seafloor constrains the motion of the waves to occur in a more limited region than out at sea, concentrating the wave energy near the surface.

在海岸附近，较浅的海底限制了波浪的运动，只能在比出海更为有限的区域中产生海浪，集中表面附近的波能。

They can even send waves from all directions, so they form circular wave fronts and then all the wave energy is channeled into one spot they call the bullseye.

它们甚至可以从各个方向发送波浪，因此它们形成圆形波阵面， 然后所有波浪能量都被引导到一个被它们称为“靶心” 的点。

Offshore underwater canyons or rock formations in certain locations like Nazare, Portugal or Mavericks, California , refract the incoming wave energy into a single spot, creating massive waves sought by surfers worldwide.

近海的水下峡谷或岩层在某些地方，比如葡萄牙的纳扎尔或是加利福尼亚的Mavericks，将入射的波浪能量折射到一个地点，从而创造出全世界冲浪者所追求的巨大波浪。

He says 20 percent is too low for an investment in ocean wave energy to be economical. He says it needs to be up in the high 30 percent to 40 percent.

他说要想在海洋波浪能源上得到经济的投资，20%的比例太低。他说需要将之提高到30%到40%。

Numerous devices have been invented to harvest wave energy, with names such as Wave Dragon, the Penguin and Mighty Whale, and research is going on to try and come up with a really efficient method.

已经有很多投资去开发能够利用波浪能的仪器，比如说浪龙、企鹅以及巨头鲸，研究还在继续，尝试找出一种这种效率很高的方式。
