this is the triton.type wave energy harvester and its facilitators are testing it here in maine to see if they can finally make ocean power a competitive source of energy. not example right here is what the full-scale triton would look like. >> know, the full-scale device would about 30 meters in length. the triton is what the known as a two body wave energy device. we have at the top a surface float that provides the balance, and hanging below that, in our case, is a ring. as the top body moves, the bottom body resists that motion, and that creates energy. if you just look at the quantity of energy, it would give us more than we need is a country, but of course, it is not all economically accessible, and that's the bottom line. >> wave is the wild west of renewables, so no one design has broken out of the pack. economic feasibility has also partned elusive, and because of the very types of hazards posed by the very source of the energy. the ocean. >> the challenge with wave energy is to be able to build
