How WaveAmp Works
WaveAmp integrates a dynamic mechanism into point-absorber systems that improves energy efficiency without increasing environmental impact.
Rising Phase
Technology collects wave energy while rising, capturing the natural upward motion of the wave.
Water Trapping
At the crest of the motion, a dynamic weight changing mechanism traps water inside the system.
Descent Energy
The weight of trapped water along the stroke generates energy that is 'lent' from the ocean on descent.
Energy Return
Energy is returned from the system to the ocean while rising, completing the efficient cycle.
The Weight Changing Energy Process
This revolutionary process allows each point absorber to generate more sustainable power, making it more profitable. By leveraging the ocean's own energy through a weight-changing mechanism, we achieve up to 153% more power output from the same wave conditions.
