WaveRoller: Wave generated energy in action, from concept to reality
Energy has been created using water power for a long time, but nothing even comes close to this. The WaveRoller is a device anchored to the sea floor, which has moving plates which sway with the movement of the waves. The kinetic energy created is stored in a piston pump, and then can be converted to electricity using a hydraulic system. The system used a natural occurring event called the “bottem wave” phenomenon. Which basically explains that on the floor... Continue reading
