waaaaaaves

Looking at all of the different wave pool technologies and all the different ways that waves can be made to look at and study the way water behaves. I think that there are many benefits to this just because water is what makes up a large part of our planet and I figure if we find some major beneficial discovery, then it would impact us a lot. I also think that they are pretty to look at. It's interesting to see that most of the wave pools or wave tanks or ripple tanks or whatever they're called (wave-o-matics?) are in Japan, Britain, or Norway. I'm not sure if this is because of the funding that is set apart for science or because they are interested in this more than other things.
