The Wave Power Tech Competing with Fossil Fuels
CNET,Technology,tech
The Waveline Magnet floats on the surface of the water and can be used for desalination, hydrogen fuel production, and electricity generation.

0:56 “We are not a company that sits in an office and looks at numbers and produces reports and publications and says that this is what our technology does.“
In other words this is not a viable, scalable source of electricity. It sounds like a scam.
about 4.6 MW/H, not bad! altho it is not “power station level of production” .
U need min 100 MW/H to compete, most generate in gigawatts per hour
I think it’s going to fail. How long is it going to last in that harsh environment? You’d need a lot of them.
Very cool! I wish them all the luck in the world. Hope you guys do a follow-up video when their first commercial unit goes live.
Cool idea. I wonder how it will do once seals and sea lions jump on top.
Fantastic for coastal communities that have a need for clean water
Harnessing wave power is next-gen energy sourcing. I wish them luck!
I wonder if this thing could work in a lake with extremely high salt content like the Salton sea if it could help clean up that mess
That’s interesting. And it won’t “compete with fossil fuels.” Thank you.
How exactly does it work?
How does it store or transmits the energy?
How does is desalinate?
How does it survive harsh weather? How durable is it?
we NEED MORE TECH LIKE THIS!
ENOUGH with the carbon generating energy sources and damn fossil fuels
I have concerns about the long term use of this system. The longer it sits in the ocean, the more seaweed and animal life will attach to it, adding weight and reducing movement of the panels, thus reducing output and increasing maintenance over time. How is it tethered to keep it from following currents yet still allowing it to move with changing flows? How well does it hold up to storms, with their larger and less consistent wave heights? The most effective solutions are usually simple ones, not those with hundreds of moving parts that need to be lubricated, maintained, and replaced. An interesting concept, but I suspect it is not a very practical one, and not one that would scale up well.
I’d argue that this tech is what fossil fuels can do. The materials used to make this required tons of fossil fuels to make. Net energy guys.
This is great as there are waves always all the time
we want to compete with fossil fuel. While depending on fossil fuel to build our technology.…
Cool. another scam company to compete with the only energy step forward. Wake up people. Nuclear energy is the only option.
Love your shirt!
We can definitely use this in Puerto Rico🇵🇷… the Electric Plants here are near the coast. Of course they are old…
This is more for a reformed renewable Solar Energy plant development. THIS can still generate power at NIGHT and stored it in batteries while Solar Panels take a break. I would assume Hawaii could use them as well and Water Base station ports for Cruise 🚢
I Giggle about crap like this.
7 years ago a company built a similar thing of the East Coast of Australia, at Wollongong..
After 3 years they sent it to the recycling bin..
Due to storms, higher waves than expected. It fell apart, and maintenance went over the roof.. and you need co2 blurting boats to maintain it. Another Con..
Ridiculous
I guarantee you this will not compete with fossil fuels in energy density
💚
Just don’t feel the excitement here for this project.
Damn if this isn’t the best thing sense sliced bread.
