...first reaction to this news was shock. Sometime after I backed into a stump, but definitely before I clipped the neighbor's garage-actually it was around the time the babysitter somehow creased a perfect inch-deep furrow along the entire passenger side, headlight to brake light-I stopped thinking of the van as having any monetary value whatsoever.

...turbine that drives a generator. The device, which has been dubbed an "oscillating water column," has been the basis of several plans for generating useful energy. But Denniss, a former lecturer in mathematics and oceanography, curved one wall of the chamber to amplify the wave, much as a car headlight's concave reflecting surface intensifies the light from the low-wattage bulb.
