Yoshio Masuda

Yoshio Masuda (died 2009) was a former Japanese naval commander, regarded as the father of modern wave power technology.[1] Among other devices, the now used principle of Oscillating Water Column is regarded as his invention.[2][3][4] It was initially used for small-scale navigation buoys.
