Wave Dragon model of overtopping terminator. Credit to Giovanna Bevilacqua. Overtopping terminators, also referred to just as terminators, are devices that take advantage of wave energy to generate electricity. Scientists have been doing research since the 1990s to develop overtopping devices, but not until recently has significant progress been made (Bevilacqua & Zanuttigh, 2011).

The overtopping terminator is a large device that is categorized as a wave capturer. This means that instead of using a wave’s kinetic energy to generate power like other wave energy devices, the terminator captures waves and takes advantage of their potential energy (Katofsky, 2008).

Plans have been proposed to install overtopping terminators both on and offshore. However, after Demark made great improvements with the offshore model it became the primary method of development and the onshore method’s progress diminished (Bevilacqua & Zanuttigh, 2011).

Now overtopping terminators are described as large, floating reservoirs with ramps and reflectors extending off the end and turbines located at the bottom of the reservoir. The terminators are up to 390 meters wide and can hold between 1,500 and 14,000 cubic meters of water. The average cost to build and install one of these devices is a steep $10 to $12 million but its high efficiency makes it worth the cost in the long run (US Dept of Energy, 2009). When waves first approach an overtopping terminator, they bump into its reflectors.
