Wave Energy - offshore devices
There are various ways to capture the kinetic energy in the waves as they break against the coastline. The following are some of the methods being used.
The Pelamis device is a unique system to generate renewable electricity from ocean waves.
The OWEL is a new concept of wave energy device, which traps and compresses air in successive wave troughs.
The IPS OWEC (Offshore Wave Energy Converter) buoy is a system for generating electricity from ocean waves.
The Wave Dragon is a floating, slack-moored energy converter.
