Sea-wiggle.R.   Autonomous free-floating wave converter.


Ocean waves


Sea-wiggle.R is an omnidirectional WEC with non-uniform floats that are also auto-adaptable to various wave profiles, and equipped with direct induction for internal electrolysis & storages.


Fixed-location converters must be structurally stronger than free-floating (limited autonomy) in a controlled formation. Plus, upscaling makes things heavier. The larger the span, the less often 'adequately liftings' for relative motor motion, occur.   ---> "Scaling up kills amplitude".

Ocean waves are characterized by their 'random' behavior in direction (not orientation), magnitude, time interval. I approached leverage and scaling up differently: by subdivision and variation so that every relative amplitude counts individually.   ---> "The difference makes all the difference".

The free-floating & fragmented design converts almost frictionlessly a larger portion of wave profiles and is less sensitive to falling water.   ---> "More degrees of freedom is higher yield".


The challenge of free-floating is to remain within a consession by actuating autonomously low-to-mid energy consuming navigating means as proposed in ยง.1.2. of 'Real World Operations'.  This WEC is equipped with B.C-induce.R & B.F-electrolyse.R.  A fixed version is an asset to wind farms.
