I think that's missing one order of magnitude: 30m * 30m * 10m = 9,000 m^3; at a density of 1t/m^3 that's 9,000,000 kg.
- alright2565 3y agoyou're right--thank you for catching that. I think the idea is still sound though. there is so much loss (4m waves ≠ 3m height change; rocking motion is not up-down motion) that these wattage numbers would in practice reduced by orders of magnitude.
