AMOG Wave Energy Converter
The base of AMOG's design is a 25 m floating vessel with a damped pendulum, the latter based on the principles of Dynamic Vibration Absorbers. The system is tuned to maximize power from incoming waves, extracting energy from the pendulum dampening via electromotive force (EMF).
