Mfs not believing something actually works Well u dont have to believe it works, bc instead of believing it works just make it work, engineering time

Why dont they integrate this technology with offshore wind farms. The float can bob up and down on the shaft of the wind turbine, and you get the best of both.

Twice as tall and four times wider than what?

Thank you for an interesting video. I hope this time it will actually work! I'm a little curious how the energy is brought on shore and how this ties in to the whole intermittency/storage issue. Can combinations with wind/solar mitigate that issue?

World governments should be doing this kind of research, not private industry. Our taxes should be used for good, not nonsense.

Impact on navigability of waters if scaled up?

SAVE THE DARK SKY - irresponsible public illumination & DYI house & garden lighting - has stolen the Stars !🇨🇦

But Couzin - what we doing about ' ethical LEDs ' - WE are blinding OURSELVES. ' ...Do not look directly into the sun... ' but beaming UNshielded LEDs is a contemporary problem no one is addressing !🍀

Cycloidal propellers on boats do not have to worry about carrying the weight of the craft. No matter which way they thrust, the upthrust from the water against something which is overall less dense than water. For aircraft, which are heavier than air, the failure of the prop without a lifting aerofoil means the ground is an inevitable and unwanted destination.

I like this channel!

My question with wave power was always how does this loss in kinetic energy in the ocean effect the currents of the ocean if it does at all

I wonder if these propellers would work for fpv drones 🤔 and how they might improve efficiency and hopefully either give longer battery life or more thrust/power.

Wow though it may soung impressive staying in mid air forten months isnt the real challenge

I had a similar idea but instead of wave powered it would be tidal powered. You would have a weight at the bottom of the ocean with a cable going up to the buoy that would lock in at low tide and release at high tide, then the cable would go around a spool that would be hooked up to a gear system and an electric motor. The great thing about this is that it can generate power at predictive intervals.

How much effect will the growth of marine biomass barnacles and seaweed have on efficiency?

4:07 air is a fluid. You meant air (gas) instead of liquid.

Solar no moving parts, yours far to complex.

It would be interesting to hear about how the units deal with tidal shifts. With the rigid mooring systems, it appears that they only work at a set depth. That would mean that with a high tide or a low tide, the units would be inoperable due to being over extended/retracted and would just lock in place. There would have to me some way of controlling the length of the mooring rod connecting the units to the seabed and I don't remember this being covered by the video.

An excellent job was done 😊

Wave energy could have been done a hundred years ago, but it was the petrol mania already building up and establishing in the 1950s and selling toxic petrochemicals and nanoplastics in the 1980s Wave energy can be easily done in an artificial wave reef to absorb wave impact on floor, or air piston chambers on port and rather than produce electricity we don't need ( as well countless if useless electric devices) it can produce compressed air for neumatic energy to power any mechanical appliance, machine or tool while concentrated solar can be used for cooking and solar distillation desalination, while also fridge compressors can be powered by wind turbines shaft,etc

So, it's like a big pneumatic shock absorber. Cool idea.

That's it? This is a demo on what it is to be a hype beast for anticlimactic topics

Unicorn fart energy is even cheaper! With 1 fart you can charge a fleet of tesla semis! Nuclear fusion has nothing on it!

Wonder how well would do in a lake or a loch. I mean the great lakes and all the lochs and channels could be a good place for some, that is safer and easier to set up. I think Huron or superior might be good at least, think those are the rougher lakes with a lot of waves.

just came here to say the thumbnail is dumb, I won't even watch this. 300% efficiency. -facepalm-

I enjoy your videos. I'm no boffin, but interested to know how do you achieve 300% efficiency?. I can on only think of resonance when it comes to waves.

Gosh even more eyesores to eat away from the beauty of the natural world. I wish we could just stick to nuclear power, it's small, compact and has huge energy density, combined with no to minimal emissions during operation its the best thing we have.

This does NOT take up less space / is not lighter: "The 300 kW rated power C4 WEC is 9 m in diameter, 19 m tall, and has a mass of around 60 tonnes" A GE 1.5 MW (5x the power) Wind turbine: 70 m tower (3.7x) and is 164 tons (2.73) Infomercials like this are the worst. Stop copy pasting their marketing material and do 5 minutes of research.

If true Nestle would buy the patents and insure the tech never gets used. This happens all the time across industries since at least the 1960s.

looks like mine field

I would surmise this dude took one to many hits of Mendocino Sinsemilla marijuana just before making his interesting video…god bless him…🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Lots of positive things about this technological development. It sounds like you just re-presented press materials from the company. Is there any down side? Who are the competitors and how do they compare?

Flying cars will never ever happen. It's too hard for most people to drive on flat ground in 1 direction. Imagine somebody texting and flying over your head.

The tuning is like MPPT on solar panels. The system load is adjusted to match what the driver can push at that moment.

I don’t think that your description of how the heart works is correct. As I understand it the main chamber of the heart pumps blood all around the body and the oxygen depleted blood returns to the second chamber of the heart. Then the second stroke, the Diastolic stroke or referred to the resting stroke pumps the blood through the lungs to re oxygenate it and that flows into the main chamber for the Systolic stroke to do the process all over again. I think that is how it works. I do like the idea of using wave action to generate power though. I live on a boat and am looking for ways to generate more power during the non daylight period. I like their rack and pinion drive approach, and that got me thinking of how I can utilise the movement of my boat to generate some power. My 5 minute notion is to have a long vane on each side of my hull with a leading edge pivot point where a power generation device of some kind is built in. The 2 “paddles” would generate power as the boat rocks with the waves while sailing. These paddles could also act as stabilisers too. That is worthy of an experiment. The big problem is how to turn small pivot angular movements into energy. I think I will start with, rather than a rack and pinion, a high ratio gear drive. Even if it only generated 200 watts while sailing that will be some 5 kilowatt hours in a 24 hour period. That has a lot of potential, so thanks for the inspiration.

but but how do they prevent side fumbling ?

Waves seem much more consistent than wind, or solar.

Doesn't this cause more waves? Eventually causing tsunami on cost?

Is it just the accent that makes him pronounce buoy weird?

Fascinating, and an excellent presentation.

watch out, here come dat buoy.

Nice

Sometimes something that seems like a breakthrough never gets traction because it comes with a whole new set of problems, specially in aeronautics. Humble prediction we would never see a cyclowhatver flying anywhere 😂

Excellent breakdown of the C4's engineering and testing. Your ability to make these technical topics engaging is outstanding!

Can you imagine a system like this that could also aerosolize seawater, creating denser cloud cover and lowering the surface temperature of earth? I feel like the potential for a dual purpose energy and cloud producing unit has been overlooked.

Be a sweet flying car

This tech has been "tested" since I was a kid I'm middle school in 2000-2002....

Just real quick, can anybody imagine being on a ship at sea and having the rough waves actually power the vessel? Just a thought.😏

Might work for preventing coastal erosion too. A few rows of those parallel to the coast should be able level the waves.
