40 South Energy R115
The radical design of our wave energy converters lets you reap the benefits of commercial wave energy while avoiding the drawbacks of conventional installations. The 40South Energy wave energy converters are formed by three sub-systems. Using our innovative (and patented) transmission system, the relative motion of the Lower and Upper members is converted directly into electricity on the machine
