It lasted until the first storm. Likewise, the big test with the modern technology will be how it will handle the fury of mother nature. Santa Cruz had a wave power generator more than 100 years ago.

A small $25 solar panel can do that. Put solar panels and a windmill on the buoy instead. The problem is the buoy is moving up and down with the water. You need something stationary to harness the full wave motion (rise and fall of the water). ONLY enough to power a light bulb? A small $25 solar panel can do that.
