"small nanogenerators that float on surface of ocean linked together using flexible connector. Static electricity generated used as power source... spring-like coils inside... generate static electricity.. 347 watts per cubic meter, which they note is approximately 30 times better than other designs geared to reap electricity from waves. More work will need to be done on their system, however, before it could be put to commercial use. How to keep the coils from wearing away, for example, would need to be resolved"
