As I understand it, the main problem is cost. That large concrete structure costs a lot, especially using specialised equipment to construct it in an environment with big waves. On top of that you have high design costs for one-off developments. There is hope that as the design matures, the design costs will drop and efficiency will rise, so that this will eventually compete with other renewable energy sources.

Straight to the point, explained very clearly, and no bla bla bla bla bla of 20 minutes. Thank you!

1. The video declares that a Voith Wave Power Station was setup as of 2009 when the video was published on KZread, yet it makes no mention of exactly how much power that station produced. This is a concern. 2. The video makes no mention of tidal sea level changes - the station in the video shows no ability to traverse up or down to match the vertical delta of 5-10 feet (1.5-3 m), which means max power happens at high tide and min at low tide. 3. The video mentions that "tidal power" represents 700 nuclear plants - but fails to point out that this would require every linear foot of coastline be covered with wave power stations. The video does not give any realistic estimates of how many power stations would be required to power, say, New York City. 4. It's been 11 years - where is this technology today?

Of all the alternative energy idea's I've seen this is by far the most practical, and most likely the most cost effective.

I'd replace the turbine by a pressure piston (similar to a steam locomotive) In theory it should be more efficient as more of the high pressure air will be used to perform work due to the enclosed nature of a piston drive. The downside being increased friction & some energy loss but I think the overall increased work should make up for it.. .

This is not at all what I was expecting... I was expecting something to do with water pressure, but instead I got an explanation for what's basically an inferior wind turbine. I like the idea of the technology, but depending on weather conditions(which are an insurmountable variable), both land, construction and maintenance would cost far too much for the fact that the facility wouldn't really work at low tide, and even if you peaked out some kind of super-battery, the biggest problem is the fall and winter seasons, where you're pretty much always at low tide. It's ultimately inferior to solar power and nuclear energy(I support both). There are other problems, but I will say this, since some in the comments aren't very kind: The idea is worth a shot as an additive source of electrical power. If one lives on on the coast and not in a commercial district, it would be worth having that extra source of energy. You could probably use it to supplement power outages as a back-up generator. It'd be grossly inefficient for a rural area, but if you own seaside property, and are keen to remove the beach, this is an option available to a select few.

here's an idea , use x2 turbines designed for optimum efficiency , use large 1 way flap valves (carbon fiber) for one way airflow into each turbine . Use semiconductors to disconnect the load from each generator , when the flaps are closed. Add a few batteries so the transient outputs can be smoothed out , for connection to the grid.

If you are just using the same machine as the video, the ability to compress air has been greatly reduced at low tide. If you move the machine down at low tide then you have potentially more failure points. You also have to figure out how to move it back up. Either way this video is good for almost nothing. You would need to see a working demo of the machine with more information.

@marthale7 ok, you can't think that. I would like to think that as well but you can only capture so much water. You are limited by the tide height and how much water your intake can support. Either way you are still loosing power. Storing water also comes at it's own cost. Depending on where you live the range is 4 to 10 ft. Are you moving the structure 4 ft or are you dealing with a loss of pressure. If you are storing water you can store between 3 and 8 ft of water. That's at an incline so the further you want to store water away the less water you can store. If the tide does not dip below your output you can't generate any power. Clean "free" sources of energy are great but they have problems.

You know, even Arabs are building GenIV nuclear plants... Europe and EEUU are are digging their grave with this sentimental backwards policies based on populism (yeah, close Germany's nuclear plants because Fukushima... Very intellligent, we all know it was because of the Green Party).

Some Comments on this Video talk about "Energy Change Issues", but the “Cost” of not “Going Green” is far more “Expensive” than the Dollar Cost of all the Issues combined.♻️

No. An asteroid or super volcano will come along, and non of this green shit will matter. The Earth is doomed. Time to move to better planets.

Your Comment is “Clean & Renewable” & Fossil Fuel based "Mental Residue" cannot “Muddy the Water”

wow this is a pretty damn cool idea! And very low tech. very affordable and not many parts that can fail.

Wow! A great idea.

Indonesia is a nation filled with islands. This power plant surely will be very useful.

Indonesia has lots of volcanoes. It should use Geothermal if possible.

It appears very environmentally friendly! What is your power output?

This video was released when i was born!

Interessante conceito de aproveitação hidrodinâmica!!!..... : ) Usando das Ondas do mar, sobe e desce!!!!.... Como o nível dentro da caixa de concreto aumenta e minui e na qual existe uma abertura no final da caixa, em que resulta uma diferença dinâmica de pressão do ar, onde puxa o ar de fora para dentro quando o nível da água do mar desce abruptamente e expulsa o ar de dentro para fora com a subida abrupta da água do mar no interior da caixa de concreto.... Bem engenhoso.... : )
