How does a wave powered boat work?
As the pumps move through the waves, they harvest the momentum of these waves, converting their kinetic energy into electrical energy, which will then be fed into a generator that will supply electricity to the ship. The electricity then provides propulsion via a motor.

Do sharks stay away from jet skis?
The key point to understand about a jet ski shark attack is that they are rare to happen, and it’s because sharks rarely attack things that are bigger than themselves.
