   it is needed to be done like cor power polimers not metals it will more durable

   you need to combine with outeter shell half egg chamber – which will put air in and out if you put turbines with the same curvage blades the turbine will rotate the same direction as air flows in/out oso even less waves will generate electyricity

   And the power generated needs to be transmitted to the land to get the benefit. Major cost consideration…?

   I applaud anyone trying to find a clean and friendly way to give us electricity or to clean up our environment in a practical way.

   Man, that thing would last like a month in Chilean costs. We have a lot of marine life. Bio fouling and trap fishes, algae, mollusks would kill it for sure.

   The design alone looked stupid.

   don’t see how this could ever be more accessible or easy to maintain than solar in 99% of the use cases so it’s highly suspicious that this kind of project is receiving so much funding. the niche case where this would be a huge advantage is in military applications like providing a power station for drones near key conflict zones. this is an MIC project dressed up as a “green” civilian venture.

     Panthassa’s Ocean-2 test from earlier this year produced as much electricity as one-hundred solar panels operating under optimum conditions. If you could deploy a dozen or two dozen Ocean-2 units in your area, I don’t know why you would instead opt for solar.

     @@ktechnology9146 you’re using the wrong metric, it doesn’t matter how many solar panels it replaces, it’s about cost efficiency. this thing costs orders of magnitudes more than solar per MWh and looks like a nightmare to deploy and maintain. it will take decades more to improve the cost efficiency with adequate funding to even come close to solar. so which organization famously doesnt give an iota about cost efficiency?

     “my area” happens to be near a fresh water lake and not much else. how much energy do you think it’ll generate in still water and how many solar panels can it replace?

     ​@@Placid_Cat Obviously Ocean-2 wouldn’t be viable everywhere, but neither are solar panels. Coastal regions away from the equator tend to have more cloud cover, more salt in the air, more forestland, and more tidal activity, all of which make something like Ocean-2 a better value proposition than solar panels.

   I’m sure the oil companies will come up with a way to slow this down!

     Don’t worry, physics will get in the way first.

    I’ve heard of these experiments before; I think it’s a really cool idea! The other issue to consider, as well, is the problem with transmitting the generated energy to shore. Energy is lost over distance, and the biggest and best waves are the ones farthest away from shore. Still cool though! Also, “biogrowth” makes me think of Dead Space, lol.

    Wave energy is unique as noted in this presentation that can cross oceans with waves shown the result of the circular oscillation up to 20,000 ft deep or more forced to be compressed at 10 ft deep or more …or less. This to become elliptical shapes stacked on each other. This unique energy is forced to be managed in this way to be then released as small to huge waves. Natures fringing Coral Reefs perfectly manage up to 97% of his unique energy and also known for having the very best surfing waves and secure shorelines. Nothing is seen on the ocean horizon with natures way of energy capture. It’s methods has become the model for a blueprint for the goal as to mimic as best possible natures way. Long term solutions also must respect the oceans, marine life and also its shorelines as the focus of 30 yrs of research by Highwave Ocean Energy.

    Nice try but no. We need to stick to wind, solar and degrowth.
