The wave generator is a series of tubes with a turbine on the top generating electricity using wave motion. The idea of Google's barge as an exclusive show-off destination device and a theory about a room filled with pampered monkeys generating ideas are also discussed.
The relationship between Google and oceans is explored in this humorous podcast. The speaker jokes about how oceans and Google are closely tied together, despite oceans existing before Google.
Google had proposed a project in which they would park a barge near San Francisco and make it a tourist attraction to showcase their technology, similar to a mad scientist's idea. This project was proposed as a way to make Google's presence more noticeable and to spread the internet to everyone.
The speaker highlights a method of generating electricity that involves wave generators and how it is an efficient and consistent way to produce electricity. They also discuss how Google's innovation culture works, including the idea that there could be a council of elders that one must appeal their idea to in order to implement it in the company.
