One way to do this is to harvest energy from ocean waves. Many different solutions have been proposed worldwide but to this point no solution which is both effective and able to withstand the environment in the oceans has been developed. The company CorPower Ocean is currently developing a Wave Energy Converter inspired by the pumping principles by the human heart.

The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the usa...
