Wave energy is one of the world’s most untapped resources that can be harnessed to capture near carbon free energy. However, the price of producing power is still more expensive than fossil fuel, and other renewables, due to the complexity of the marine environment. Our goal is to minimize the cost of harvesting energy from ocean waves. We are replacing rigid components with inflatables, and using existing technology- a point absorber. This wave energy converter (WEC) converts the kinetic energy of waves to drive a generator and create electricity.
