Summary
University of Michigan researchers are testing wave energy converter prototypes off the shores of Beaver Island, Michigan, to explore whether ocean waves could provide a reliable source of electricity for the island's residents. The prototypes, which resemble small boats framed with PVC pipes, were designed with input from local residents as part of an ongoing effort to improve power reliability on the island, which currently relies on an underwater cable for electricity.
