A Wave-Pump Technology Hits the Water Hard, From Salt to Fresh to Energy

Scientists have created a brand new idea and technology that is being experimented in the Gulf of Mexico as we speak. They call it a "wave-pump". What does it do is probably your question. Well here's my answer, the "wave pump" is an ocean pump that turns salt water into fresh water that is later turned into clean and renewable energy. It's simple. The "wave-pump" takes waves and energy from the ocean swells and stores it in land areas where is can be taken and made into energy through a process. This energy is then distributed into waves of energy and used.
The picture below shows what the "wave-pump" looks like!
