Exploring Wave Energy: Harnessing the Power of the Sea

The video discusses the decline in fossil fuel production from the North Sea and introduces the European Marine Energy Centre in Orkney, which explores generating electricity from wave energy. It highlights the sea bone generator, a device that mimics a sea snake's movement to convert wave motion into electricity using hydraulic systems.

What is the expected change in output from the North Sea oil fields over the next decade?

• It will double.

• It will remain the same.

• It will halve.

• It will increase by 25%.

What is the primary focus of the European Marine Energy Centre?

• Developing solar energy technology.

• Exploring geothermal energy sources.

• Generating electricity from wave energy.

• Improving wind turbine efficiency.

Where is the European Marine Energy Centre located?

• Orkney

• Edinburgh

• Dublin

• London

What natural movement does the sea bone generator mimic?

• The wriggling of a sea snake.

• The flapping of a bird's wings.

• The swimming of a fish.

• The crawling of a crab.

How does the sea bone generator produce electricity?

• By burning fossil fuels.

• By using solar panels.

• Through wind turbines.

• By pumping pressurized fluid through motors.
