According to the patent filing, the data centers would be located 3 to 7 miles off-shore and would make use of the Pelamis wave Energy Converter units that turn ocean surface waves into electricity.

据这份专利文件的描述，这些数据中心必须位于离海岸3 - 7英里的海上，并利用Pelamis海浪能量转换器单元将海洋表面的波浪转换为电力。

According to Teruyuki Kato, the project's leader, this arrangement can measure a buoy's vertical motion with an accuracy of a few centimetres, which will pick up dangerous tsunamis in the open ocean where they are mere ripples on the surface (they rear up into killer waves only when they reach the shallows).

ECONOMIST: New ways of tracking these killer waves may help save lives

What is needed are specific detectors that take advantage of the fact that tsunamis are felt throughout the ocean's depths, unlike wind-generated waves, which affect only its surface.
