& best practices
First efforts for capturing wave energy have been based on ONE FOCUS principle:
Kinetic OR Potential power, in surface OR in deep water.
Huge source of energy available

3. Multidirectional absorption double wave energy converter
that produces a continuous and uniform rotation into
vertical turbines

• Simultaneous kinetic & potential energy capturing
• Simultaneous surface & deep water capturing
• Multidirectional water energy capturing
• Continuous & stable rotation between waves
• No fluids & sensitive-electrical parts submerged
• Customizable for any wave climates

MW scale potential with base design (2 cages)
Capture more of the available energy, in more
locations, with a simpler mechanism
20% more kinetic energy capturing and, at the same time,
40% more potential energy capturing with the same converter
VORTEX potential worldwide
Same base theoretical design evaluated for different locations
