Abstract
Lighthouses and other navigational aids are situated near tumultuous seas and thus may be good candidates for early applications of wave energy conversion technologies. This paper describes gravity wave physics and the characteristics of mechnical radiation (growth, propagation, diffraction, and shoaling).
