Editing Wave power (section)

=== Oscillating wave surge converter ===
These devices typically have one end fixed to a structure or the seabed while the other end is free to move. [[Energy]] is collected from the relative motion of the body compared to the fixed point. Converters often come in the form of floats, flaps, or membranes. Some designs incorporate [[parabolic reflector]]s to focus energy at the point of capture. These systems capture energy from the rise and fall of waves.<ref name="Renewable Sea Power">{{cite journal| last1=McCormick |first1=Michael E. |first2=R.
