¹ Would you like to get
Free power from the sea?
You can you know, as I will show
Just how, it’s nearly free

² First of all collect the waves
The bigger ones have power
All night and day they work for you
Bringing power by the hour

³ The force a wave can muster
Is full of energy
You only have to capture it
To run your turbine free

⁴ The best way is to use its force
To raise the water high
So it can make strong pressure
For your turbine to supply

⁵ The slickest way that looks real neat
Is like a natural blowhole
That shoots it straight up in the air
To collect that wave’s your goal

⁶ The higher the better
Make it 50 feet* or more
Because you need the pressure
At the bottom by the shore

⁷ A tall and skinny funnel
Shoots it straight up in the air
To your water catch basin
Strategically located there

⁸ To get more power from the sea
Put several funnels side by side
To catch the waves at angles
And give them a swift ride

⁹ Then direct that water
Down a long and spinning pipe
To a jet-reaction turbine
That don’t leak because it’s tight

¹⁰ Then Newton’s law will take right hold
As it squirts the water out
The pressure and the nozzle
Accelerate its mass throughout

¹¹ At the bottom of the turbine
A thrust bearing it must be
To hold the pipe and water
You’ve collected from the sea

¹² The best place you can get one, is
From a recycled car
The ones that hold the wheels on
Are much better by far

¹³ Don’t forget that top bearing
It holds the thing upright
The same kind from cars' works well
'cause they’re cheaper and hold tight

¹⁴ Notice that a generator
Has no thrust bearings within
Thus it must be horizontal
So it will always spin

¹⁵ So set it up with V-belts
To turn the angle of
The force within the axel
Build it with good sense and love

¹⁶ That makes the whole thing spin around
It’s running night and day
To generate electricity
May even earn some pay

Simple isn’t it!
