Aerospace engineers are working to make ocean wave energy the nation's newest source of green power by applying the physics of wind turbines to the sea. Former Air Force Academy scientists took over Texas A&M University's wave tank recently to test the idea that if air can produce affordable electricity, so can ocean water. For decades, researchers have sought ways to turn the energy in ocean waves into electricity — economically and with minimal effect on marine environments. But as other forms of renewable energy have flourished, commercial power from ocean waves hasn't made it onto U.S....
