Wave Energy Collective

Our approach

Unlike many traditional wave energy converters that use up and down motion, we use the horizontal movement of the waves to generate electricity. This has a number of advantages: Firstly, the efficiency is twice as high, we see this reflected in data and can also be proven mathematically. Second, installation is easier because we can use the same method as ships (an anchor) for mooring. Traditional WECs require a large concrete block to absorb the vertical forces. Thirdly, we can build our device much lighter because we do not require a large volume for generating buoyancy.
