ExoWave Cell
The Exowave WEC element, also known as oscillating wave surge converter, extracts the kinetic energy available in the wave induced orbital water particles motion through a bottom-hinged flap. The device is intended to be installed in waters up to 40 meters depth, allowing for boats to sail above the converter itself and ensuring zero visual impact. It can be installed for electrical power production independently or nearby offshore structures such as offshore wind turbines or substations.
