Analog Simulation of a Wave Activated Turbine Generator Buoy.

Abstract

This report presents an analog simulation of a Wave Activated Turbine Generator Buoy which is currently under study and evaluation by the U. S. Coast Guard. Emphasis is placed upon the theoretical development since only limited full scale data is available. However, based upon the available data, the author does suggest some areas in which program modifications probably will be required. (Author)
