The plant was mainly operational with fairly calm weather, the moment waves got bigger the floats would be raised to protect the plant infrastructure. If real energy tapping is going to be done the plant needs to be able to stand up to storms to harvest the energy within. The overall concept is good but needs perfecting.

This is why shore wave kit is so hard to do. There is a factor of 1000 power difference between calm and stormy weather and it's really hard to make something that works in most conditions and survives all conditions (for a reasonably amount of money). But if the pier the thing is attached to gets destroyed well that's kind of fair enough if it has to be moved at that point. We probably just have to accept some pier-rebuilding as a cost of such generation. We build and rebuild piers, sea walls and breakwaters anyway. Having the machinery underwater helps enormously with survivability but gives you a whole different set of problems with maintenance, biofouling, cost, anchor damage etc. Mind you after many years of difficulty and all sorts of crazy designs from many companies, Orbital seem to have made a tidal stream device which is cheap enough, robust enough and maintainable enough to have decent commercial prospects, so maybe the wave people will find a solution eventually, too.

Also a small reactor is much easier to keep cool and if it is small _enough_ a catastrophic meltdown becomes physically impossible. Despite them being at the bleeding edge of what was possible, the old small gen 1 reactors were still way cheaper to build than modern behemoths like the EPR. The Enrico Fermi plant here in Italy was the most powerful in the world at the time (1963) at 260MW, and in modern inflation-adjusted money it only cost about 622 million euros to build and operated flawlessly until its eventual shutdown in 1987. That means if we built 6 of them we'd get more or less the same power output as one EPR, but for 1/3rd the cost. This is without even taking into account obvious cost saving measures like sharing the tertiary cooling loop across groups of multiple reactors, unified control systems and rooms for groups of reactors (keeping in mind that in 1963 you needed hundreds of discrete physical dials, switches and cables to do what can be done at 1/10th the cost today with a handful of PLCs), etc. Of course I'm not advocating rebuilding exact copies of gen 1 reactors, but you get the idea.

Wave energy is an excellent energy source because it is a clean and sustainable. But the biggest problem is the lack of a better frequency caused by the waves' uneven movements, low speed, and high pulsating forces. But we have a solution to integrate every amount of wave motion in a step-by-step manner to provide a continuous rotation, in the form of a single rotational output at the delivery shaft that can rotate a Powerful Alternator. A planetary gear set can integrate two inputs at a time without any torque loss. It has also been proven in hybrid car technology.

I think there’s actually some hope in this technology.

Excellent story...excellent journalism 👏 👍

Would be good for underwater data center too, I’d imagine.

I think the use of the upward motion of a wave to “lift a weight and thus it lifts with multiple waves lifts such a weight to set height, and thus fully charged at that oint, is then released to generate power until its weight needs to be lifting again. Than scalability is then easy as just add these weighted generators to one “one wave lifter”. So the wave lifter is always busy lifting using the “one way winch systems”. Then each “faulty part does not put the other out of order as well

Imagine if all the garbage could produce energy from floating in the ocean.

Why not have the bobbing motion of the wave devices at sea be physically sent through a cable with a pulley to the land so that the electric components don’t need to be underwater?

Just go way more with nuclear now, build this in the future if/when it becomes even remotely plausible.

Most good things take a long time

I am a German engineer and I am thinking of much cheaper and more powerful conversion ideas that I have not seen so far (current/momentum fed). Unfortunately, I could not find a way to get in touch with you.

Thankyou CNBC for covering renewable energy options. Please make this a regular beat with followup on deployments, funding, inclusion in Public Utilities, where/when fossil fuels are replaced with percentages of Renewables in US and worldwide.

Now if we can combine these with desalination plants (and sea-mining operations) and recharging of electric vehicles for the transport of the remaining sludge.

Combine these with a desalination plant and you got your business model done

And a kinetic pump to send the freshwater onshore.

Great video! Is is possible that after 45 years of sitting on it's asses, after the US "Energy Crisis," obstructing progress, the Department of Energy is actually doing something productive?

This is crap like windmills and solar panels. Takes more oil to produce, operate and maintain those things than directly burning oil in a generator to make electricity...

pretty cool

No idea why the world hads't truly attempted this before. If humanity can get into space, it can harness oceanic power. 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨

Sure, it can produce energy from waves. But it can't make a business out of it. Just like going to the moon. Humanity achieved it but its not economical viable to spend billions to enjoy a nice view...

for reliability they first need to build a wave generator like at a surf park

Not only waves but the tide.

A flexible movable raft where moving with the waves on a massive scale moving with the waves it will generate a massive amount of energy

There is a company in isreal already using this technology

thats good, we also need a clean ocean our oceans are dirty and needs to be cleaned. their needs to be workers working to clean and filter out the dirt in the ocean.

If the Engineers/Scientists can pull this off it'll be amazing. Deep sea mining & exploration/offshore oil activities, Tsunamis/underwater earthquakes/volcanoes, hurricanes/storms, pirates, exposure to marine life, transporting the energy inland & many other factors make this a daunting task. But if America can go to space this shouldn't be a problem, Just put Elon Musk & Ivy league engineers/scientists in charge

I read that according to engineers Elon Musk is more a problem than asset for engineering in his companies. That wouldn't be a big wonder as he is not an engineer himself. He does have a big ego, so perhaps he thinks he is the ultimate creator behind everything his companies do.

Wonder if it can have a gyroscopic component that constantly aligns the turbines.

Wonder if the Turbines can be pedaled by Coolies?

Thats why i invested in OPTT

This technology would be far more ahead in research if the fossil fuel industry hadn't been so dominant. Reminds me of the saying "Necessity is the mother of invention"

in this case, necessity is the mother of deployment, the tech exists.

I'm 50 years old. They were talking about this when I was a kid. Either figure it out or shut the hell up about it.
