Wave power to be used to generate electricity

The video discusses a new renewable energy prototype called the C razor, which uses wave action to generate electricity. This device is cost-effective, potentially producing electricity cheaper than fossil fuels. The video highlights the economic viability of the device, its potential to accelerate the transition to renewable energy, and its significant impact on energy supply. The C razor has attracted government attention due to its potential to harness marine energy equivalent to eight nuclear power stations. Plans are underway to deploy the device, with ambitions to power a city the size of Liverpool.

What is the primary function of the prototype device discussed in the video?

• To pump seawater using wave action

• To store energy in batteries

• To convert wind energy into electricity

• To generate electricity using solar power

How does the cost of electricity from the prototype compare to coal?

• It is twice as expensive as coal

• It is more expensive than coal

• It costs the same as coal

• It is cheaper than coal

What is the expected cost to produce a unit of electricity using the new device?

• At least sixteen pence

• Around eight pence

• Less than two pence

• About ten pence

What is the potential impact of the new technology on the use of fossil fuels?

• It will have no impact on fossil fuel usage

• It will reduce the need for fossil fuels

• It will make fossil fuels more expensive

• It will increase reliance on fossil fuels

How much electricity does the government believe can be harnessed from marine energy using this technology?

• Equivalent to five nuclear power stations

• Equivalent to eight nuclear power stations

• Equivalent to two nuclear power stations

• Equivalent to ten nuclear power stations
