‘Protean’ wave energy device to start commercial production soon
The following comes from The Australian newspaper. Journalist: Graham Lloyd. All’s swell for new-wave energy THE Eureka moment for Perth inventor Sean Moore, 41, came when his Protean wave energy device achieved its sixth degree of freedom. The discovery gave Mr Moore’s low-cost buoy system the greatest efficiency possible to generate electricity from harnessing the perpetual motion of the sea. Unlike other wave power technologies that generate electricity from only one or two degrees of movement out of a possible six — heave, surge, sway, yaw, pitch and roll — Mr Moore’s Protean device captures the lot. Based on well-known … Continue reading ‘Protean’ wave energy device to start commercial production soon
