then drives the hydraulic punches underneath. >> it's a scaled down version of what could ehaven'tly be a reliable form of energy. the team leader said the idea is based loosely on the physics of mud, it's lies on the seafloor and absorbs much of the turbulence as before it crashes on to the shoreline. >> it came to mind if mud does such a great job, you can place a carpet on the seabed that responds to the waves. same way the mud can take out the same amount of energy. >> this animation provided by the lab, the action of the hydraulic pumps forces sea water through a single line which creates a high pressure flow that will be used to produce electricity on shore. but in addition to driving turbines, they believe pumps could be used to provide something just as valuable,

fresh, drinkable water forced through desal nation filters. >> in fact, it generates high pressure water that can be used tore desal nation and that's the first application we are looking on at this point. >> we can switch to freshwater, use the power to produce freshwater in times at night where there's no sunshine we could use the waves to produce electricity. >> the team is currently setting up partnerships to create a large scale prototype and hopes to begin ocean testing within two years, ultimately maybe turning the tied toward renewable ocean energy. carolyn johnson, abc7 news. the carpet certainly isn't the first attempt to harness wave power, but the team believes if has several advantages over competing technologies. because it sits on the ocean floor, they believe it will take far less punishment than surface systems and require less maintenance. happening today, the blue angels are once again taking to the skies.
