In the cylinder, the movement is to provide hydraulic pressure in fluida. Be diminished and the pressure delivered to the hydraulic accumulate. Then there's the wave energy is the motor that the generator will produce electrical equipment. Electricity generated is then channeled through the cable with the first divided by turbine rotor.

Electricity that can be produced sizable large. One unit of wave treader able to at least 500 kW. Of electrical energy that is able to bring the needs of 125 homes.
