Awesome. Can’t call it a floater though.

way too bulky and looks like we would have to recycle cars to build these. I think current tech used to harvest water energy is good enough

The floaters look like they are metal. Seems like they should be made of fiberglass since sea water is so corrosive to metal.

I’m down for having those things. 50% ain’t too bad. They said one floater powers 10 households. What if those households have electric cars? And can we use the electricity for electrolysis instead so that we can make clean hydrogen from the water also.

or water-powered desalination

@MadsterV wow….that’s an excellent idea! Especially in California where there are droughts all the time and major coastal ag production

They said a floater generated 10kilo watts.
A bit unfair to ask them if it will cover electric cars as it is all dependant eg if the electric car was used every day to its maximum range every day it will need 7x more than if the car was only topped up every week.
If you know how many kilowatt hours the house you are thinking of uses then you can get a fair estimate of the number of households.
Storing hydrogen is an issue, it is the smallest molecule so can leak through the gaps in-between other molecules and can leave the earth’s atmosphere.
Regenerating aluminium would allow you to have hydrogen on demand without electricity rather than stored.

Unfair? That’s silly. What’s the definition of a household then? Don’t be an idiot. We are always talking about averages in these situations. You should know that.

While it looks neat, I’m sure it’s instantly dwarfed by nuclear.
Seriously, we need to go back to nuclear. The modern, safe kind.

Ten years ago I had the opportunity to achieve a study to optimizing a wave energy converter quite similar to this one, but we could not get financiation to build it. I am glad that our idea was not so crazy and someone else can bring it to the reality.

what does the phrase “renewable energy” even mean? The energy itself is just that – energy. It’s not “renewable” no matter how you split it. The device isn’t “renewable” either. Its gonna rust out and be tossed in the landfill soon as well. Modular nuclear powerplants are where its at. I like the idea of harvesting energy from earth processes, but their usefulness extends to edge cases. We either need to develop highly efficient sources of mass power (i.e. nuclear) or go back to horse and buggy. Seems anything in-between is just 6th grade science experiments.

can you possibly get your camera people to hold the camera steady for long enough to actually see it? and if they can do that, can you get your editors to not cut away to a different shaky shot after 1.5 seconds?

Egyptian Red Sea is not good enough. No big waves. Egyptian Mediterranean is certainly a good place to have.

Industrial civilisation is unsustainable, sorry. The sooner we adapt to that reality the less traumatic the transition will be. Many will profit from grifting onto the denial of that fact, unless we destroy ourselves first.

Awsome idea!
When waves are smaller, a wave generating chamber could create larger waves by filling and releasing water passively using a free moving vertical butterfly valve system.

Like Paul C. Sachse Jr. said, looks quite probably a maintenance huge regular cost. And I add to that, what about tides? No explanation is given on that, but they seem to be fixed structures. Consider 2 metres water level difference there times a day and one wonders how the system can perform and thus influencing eficiency.
