1969: Artist patents power generating technology using waves

Among other works of art created while at MIT’s Center for Advanced Visual Studies, the artist TAKIS designed and patented a device to extract power from waves (ocean) in 1969. I have always found his work inspiring. As an artist-engineer, Takis has always been one of my favorite artists.
