Ocean engineering

a wave energy device small relative to the wavelength that can absorb power from a wave front wider than itself when tuned to resonate.

In ocean engineering, point absorber refers to a wave energy device small relative to the wavelength that can absorb power from a wave front wider than itself when tuned to resonate. This meaning comes from Budal (1975) in Nature.[1]
