the energy from waves




The pictures illustrate how energy is produced by waves and where the machines should be located.  Overall, it can be seen from the digram that the process of making energy from waves, involves airflow, turbines and generator.  The location of the machines will affect the cost of installation and the mount of electricity which is produced.

To make energy from waves, there are several stages. Firstly, the waves enter the lowered chamber, which causes the water level.  At the same time, the airflow spins the turbine, which is connected to the generator.  This produce the electricity.  The process repeats.

Regarding the locations of machines, if the machines are installed near the ahore, the cost will cheap compared to off shore locations.  However, the machines placed near the beach produce less electricitu than off shore locations.

the development of a flint tool

The figure depict the changes in an ancient stone tool from 25.000 to 5.000 years in the past.

Twenty five thousand years ago, the size of the stone tool was approximately 8 centimetres in height and around 4 cm in widht.  From the front, the texture of the stone looks roughh with a square shaped bottom edge for cutting.  In comparison with the front profile, the rear view appears to have a rougher surface.  Viewed from the side, the object appears to have a pointed edge, and measures around 2 cm at the top and about 1.5 cm at the bottom.

Twenty thousand years later, the size of the object has increased by about 2 cm in botth height and width.  In contrast, the side of profile is much thinner than the eatlier specimen, measuring only about 1 cm across.  In addition, the latter specimen is smoother with one exception that the unchipped section extends to the bottom of the blade.

To summarize, there are many differences between the flint tool of 25,000 years ago and the example from 3000 BC, in terms of texture, size and chipping. The differences suggest that the stone had been modified to become a more effective tool to support ancient people's activities.
