46、ty of Edinburgh in Scotland“There is certainly a lot of energy in waves” Scientists are working on using that energy to make electricityMost waves are created when winds blow across the ocean“The winds start out by making little ripples (波纹) in the water, but if they keep on blowing , those ripples
47、get bigger and bigger and turn into waves, ”Taylor said“Waves are one of natures ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey” When waves come towards the shore, people can set up dams or other barricades to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine (涡轮) Th
48、e turbine can then power an electrical generator (发电机) The United States and a few other countries have started doing research on wave energy , and it is already being used in Scotland The resource is hugeWe will never run out of wave power, besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as
49、 other energy sources, such as oil and coal Oceans cover three quarters of the earths surfaceThat would make wave power seem perfect for creating energy around the worldThere are some drawbacks, howeverJamie Taylor said that wave power still cost too much moneyHe said that its effects on animals in
