I Want that Muthaf$#@ing Snake in the Muthaf$#@ing Ocean!!!!!!

In any case, that's what I think that Samuel L. Jackson would say about this new energy technology.

Basically, a team in the UK has developed a floating rubber tube that is squeezed by the waves as they travel along. It resembles a seawater filled sausage.

When the squeeze reaches one end of the tube, a turbine converts the energy into electricity.

They are testing scale models now, but a full size version would be 7 meters in diameter, and 200m long and produce 1 MW, somewhat better, and much less expensive, than rigid wave catching systems and buoys.

A film of it in action is below.
