0:56 “We are not a company that sits in an office and looks at numbers and produces reports and publications and says that this is what our technology does.”
In other words this is not a viable, scalable source of electricity. It sounds like a scam.

about 4.6 MW/H, not bad! altho it is not “power station level of production” .
U need min 100 MW/H to compete, most generate in gigawatts per hour

I think it’s going to fail. How long is it going to last in that harsh environment? You’d need a lot of them.

That’s interesting. And it won’t “compete with fossil fuels.” Thank you.

How exactly does it work?
How does it store or transmits the energy?
How does is desalinate?
How does it survive harsh weather? How durable is it?

ENOUGH with the carbon generating energy sources and damn fossil fuels
Richard White

I have concerns about the long term use of this system. The longer it sits in the ocean, the more seaweed and animal life will attach to it, adding weight and reducing movement of the panels, thus reducing output and increasing maintenance over time. How is it tethered to keep it from following currents yet still allowing it to move with changing flows? How well does it hold up to storms, with their larger and less consistent wave heights? The most effective solutions are usually simple ones, not those with hundreds of moving parts that need to be lubricated, maintained, and replaced. An interesting concept, but I suspect it is not a very practical one, and not one that would scale up well.

I’d argue that this tech is what fossil fuels can do. The materials used to make this required tons of fossil fuels to make. Net energy guys.

We can definitely use this in Puerto Rico🇵🇷… the Electric Plants here are near the coast. Of course they are old…
This is more for a reformed renewable Solar Energy plant development. THIS can still generate power at NIGHT and stored it in batteries while Solar Panels take a break. I would assume Hawaii could use them as well and Water Base station ports for Cruise 🚢

I Giggle about crap like this.
7 years ago a company built a similar thing of the East Coast of Australia, at Wollongong..
After 3 years they sent it to the recycling bin..
Due to storms, higher waves than expected. It fell apart, and maintenance went over the roof.. and you need co2 blurting boats to maintain it. Another Con..

Pretty cool! The only thing that worries me is what happens when a hurricane hits or bad storm? We have seen huge boats and a lot of infrastructure get destroyed very easily by harsh weather, and the sea is just so unpredictable. How do you guarantee the investment?

Also wear and tear over longer time periods, algae buildup as well as other marine life interactions, difficulty to repair on location, and probably myriad other issues. I do like the creativity of it though. I hope my concerns will be proven unfounded in time.

I designed something similar but more efficient twenty years ago.
I was told it would never get any interest.

This could also be useful in restoring the reflectivity of the ocean as polar ice caps continue to melt. The yellow, or could possibly be made white, reflects more sunlight than the dark ocean, which absorbs more heat. If done at scale, it could serve this purpose as well as generating electricity.

I’m curious how desalination works. Is the desalination driven directly by the water pressure generated? Or is it powering motors? I used to work on reverse osmosis machines which require very high water pressure to function. Can that thing really put out that kind of pressure?

The main problem here is that the wealthiest people live along the shoreline and they won’t want to look at these things. Therefore they won’t be built. Sad but true.

It just pressurizes water, so I dont see how it can desalinize, or produce hydrogen.
