    His duck idea was very good but he was stitched up, so then he invented the toilet duck. (Last bit is a lie)

    "
    While historic references to the power of waves do exist, the modern scientific pursuit of wave energy was begun in the 1970s by Stephen Salter, in response to the Oil Crisis. His 1974 invention became known as Salter's Duck or Nodding Duck, although it was officially referred to as the Edinburgh Duck.
