Wave Treader: Joining Wind and Wave Power

People found various ways to harvest the energy that nature provides. But why not combine these to obtain a larger output of power?
This theory is going to be put into practice this year, by attaching a machine such as the Ocean Treader to an Offshore Wind Turbine, to create a full size prototype named the [...]
