Imagine a floating pier with a hotel, restaurants, etc that takes advantage of both waves as well as tide change to generate power.

These should be pretty much self contained and not put out crap. That said, this would take a lot of kinetic energy out of the waves and who knows what kind of side effects that could cause if done at large scale.

I like the concept, interesting to see how far they will go with it. Water volume is dense and to see them utilize the motion of this dense liquid per planetary motion is intuitive. Although water can be very cold, crushing and corrosive, looking forward to a day that this idea could supplement future electric grid if not act as a contingency to our standard electric infrastructure.

Is it 10KW generated per hr or per day? 10KW can power average home for a day.

You understand that a watt is a measure of power and not energy right?
I.e. 10kW is 10,000 J/s

@Greg Kramer Presumably this is test scale, which explains the low power output.
Greg Kramer
November 14, 2022 at 9:07 pm
@Zak Hawthorne I guess we will see. It seems like one with 10x the size may cost more than 10x. Hard to say at this time.
Zak Hawthorne
November 14, 2022 at 9:12 pm
@Greg Kramer There have been other attempts at this style of wave energy converter. But the companies always go out of business since it costs so much to go to full scale. Hopefully one day the economics will work out.
If you’re interested in Wave energy though, look into oscillating water columns. They very well might be the best candidate.
Greg Kramer
November 14, 2022 at 11:18 pm
@Zak Hawthorne They are interesting also. For some areas they may be great. In the US we have room for solar which is getting pretty hard to beat from a pricing perspective.
Zak Hawthorne
November 14, 2022 at 11:44 pm
@Greg Kramer yeah It really depends where you are. Some places have very good wave potential and may even be able to be coupled with offshore wind

@Zak Hawthorne the blog is about a new underwater turbine my comment was mentioning how better it is to wind turbines and not killing birds you numb nuts.

So, I’ve been doing my own research into this, and I’ve found that the exact numbers vary a lot with sea conditions. the most common wave type I was looking into (1-3 foot waves with a 3-4 second period) are just below solar panels (about 70%) for energy potential per unit area, assuming minimal losses. but those numbers rise quickly with taller waves or a faster period.
It’s hard to see here, but it looks like the cross sectional area here looks to be in the neighborhood of about 12 feet in diameter, so that’s around 10 meters squared, or about on par with solar panels, before losses and ignoring interference distance. which is pretty good.
