Giant Underwater Buoy Generates Power From Waves

The Archimedes Waveswing is a 50-ton buoy from AWS Energy that’s spent the last six months generating power off the Scottish coast. The company says the device has surpassed its expectations by 20%.

10 Kilowatts is plenty for an American home, that would be 240 kWh per day, far more than any home uses.
How about Corrosion, breakdowns and getting run over by large ships? Or is that like the $10,000 electric car battery that we shouldn’t talk about?
Interesting device but energy saving? How much energy is needed for the whole infrastructure of this industry? Imo, the only type of energy with positive gain output is fusion.
Love CNET ❤️
I like the concept, interesting to see how far they will go with it. Water volume is dense and to see them utilize the motion of this dense liquid per planetary motion is intuitive. Although water can be very cold, crushing and corrosive, looking forward to a day that this idea could supplement future electric grid if not act as a contingency to our standard electric infrastructure.
Is it 10KW generated per hr or per day? 10KW can power average home for a day.
“Guys we need renewable, sustainable energy to save the planet from the devastating effects we are causing by burning fossil fuels!”

I think it’s a great ideal for future energy source.
Can you imagine needing 1 of these for every home(best case 1 for every 5 homes :)? Talk about sea level rise with the water displacement.…smh Just think about the amount of maintenance needed to keep the barnacles off the piston. What a joke!
Wow, what a great idea!
The logo looks so apocalyptic 😭😂
I just hope governments or power providers aren’t gonna find a BS reason to block technology like this that’s gonna solve rising energy costs. We need this TODAY.
great idea. Would like to see them applied it to car’s suspensions while driving to generate electricity to the HEV/PHEV/EV battery pack and recovering additional electricity when breaking.
It looks fairly expensive for 10kw 😞
Nice to see this working and going beyond expectations 👍 better than those ugly bird killing wind turbines.
This is where all the money ought to be invested. Not in the crypto coin craps.
Fantastic
So, I’ve been doing my own research into this, and I’ve found that the exact numbers vary a lot with sea conditions. the most common wave type I was looking into (1–3 foot waves with a 3–4 second period) are just below solar panels (about 70%) for energy potential per unit area, assuming minimal losses. but those numbers rise quickly with taller waves or a faster period.
It’s hard to see here, but it looks like the cross sectional area here looks to be in the neighborhood of about 12 feet in diameter, so that’s around 10 meters squared, or about on par with solar panels, before losses and ignoring interference distance. which is pretty good.
Great video 👍
I have that same lamp
It’s very good tech that we require to meet our current and future demands, how about the heat dissipated and transfer to water by these devices, I am thinking about millions of such devices.
Nice
Crypto investment has brought me grace success!!! Irrespective of the economic depression I am boast of over $12,000 dollars every week on my investment. All thanks to Mrs Elena westhood Thank you for your focus on quality stocks

Would like to see a similar video about Oscilla Power who has a great design for wave energy capture
obviously not going to change the world, but a good option for some remote power needs.
Been an idea with little motivation at least since the 70’s when it was my brother-in-law’s middle school science project.
And… powering undersea oil rigs… what? I thought we were killing the oil industry.
☢️ power tho…
It looks like a jellyfish.
500 KW for 50 metric tonnes, it is best for some specialized industrial purposes
Have you heard of another company that’s using break waters to generate energy? I believe they’re working on the northern coast of the Mediterranean. I’d like to hear your take on it, and any opinions you may have.
Ok.
So you can have a wave.
And if something hinders it.
The wave is no more
Not a good idea
I f I remember. One company had the idea of putting out nasty trash into space
Mal idea too.
The tide is coming in for tidal energy. 😋

Interesting, but does it work and how would it be able to deliver it to homes and businesses. Sounds Good?
