Look at the wave energy generator that looks like a spine

The Cyprus company Sea Wave Energy Limited (SWEL) has been working on wave energy capture technology for more than ten years.

Now the company has unveiled a prototype of the Waveline Magnet platform, which consists of several floating platforms connected to each other.

The modular and flexible system is designed toso that the power generator can smoothly follow the movement of the waves. This, the company says, allows the device to control how much power it extracts from the wave.

In addition, the device can be made fromconventional and reinforced plastic, and therefore does not require specialized production lines, which reduces the cost of their manufacture. The device can not only be quickly manufactured and deployed, but also reduce the cost of its repair and maintenance.

Company representatives claim thatUnder the right conditions, a single wave energy converter can generate up to 100 MW of electricity, and the low cost of production already puts it on par with fossil fuels.

The prototype has already been tested in controlledconditions of the Gulf of Larnaca in Cyprus. Representatives of the company are confident that the spike-like mobility of the device will allow it to move with the waves, and not resist them, increasing the life of the platform.

The device can be made using recycled materials, and reinforced plastic will give waste a second life.
