Now being deployed, harnessing wave energy - "The 10x More Efficient Renewable" [View all]
Very fascinating !
A most innovative approach - each buoy is attached to the ocean bottom, which obviously limits it to deployment only near land, but it makes it accommodating for transmitting the generated power directly to a receiving station on land, along a cable attached to the sea floor.
This looks like it will be a successful innovation
CorPower Ocean builds advanced floating buoys that turn ocean waves into clean, predictable electricity. Their technology mimics the pumping action of a human heart to maximize energy capture during normal seas while surviving heavy storms.
