Awesome Tips The Wave Power Tech Competing with Fossil Fuels
The Waveline Magnet floats on the surface of the water and can be used for desalination, hydrogen fuel production, and electricity generation.

Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
I am surprised they use hydraulic and not electric motors at each lever. Very cool technology.
Elon should have bought them instead of a social media platform
$/Wh is all that matters.
what happens if a shark bites off a part?
Cool….. ;-D
Damn if this isn't the best thing sense sliced bread.
Just don’t feel the excitement here for this project.
💚
I guarantee you this will not compete with fossil fuels in energy density
Ridiculous
I Giggle about crap like this.
7 years ago a company built a similar thing of the East Coast of Australia, at Wollongong..
After 3 years they sent it to the recycling bin..
Due to storms, higher waves than expected. It fell apart, and maintenance went over the roof.. and you need co2 blurting boats to maintain it. Another Con..
We can definitely use this in Puerto Rico🇵🇷… the Electric Plants here are near the coast. Of course they are old…
This is more for a reformed renewable Solar Energy plant development. THIS can still generate power at NIGHT and stored it in batteries while Solar Panels take a break. I would assume Hawaii could use them as well and Water Base station ports for Cruise 🚢
Love your shirt!
Cool. another scam company to compete with the only energy step forward. Wake up people. Nuclear energy is the only option.
we want to compete with fossil fuel. While depending on fossil fuel to build our technology….
This is great as there are waves always all the time
I'd argue that this tech is what fossil fuels can do. The materials used to make this required tons of fossil fuels to make. Net energy guys.
I have concerns about the long term use of this system. The longer it sits in the ocean, the more seaweed and animal life will attach to it, adding weight and reducing movement of the panels, thus reducing output and increasing maintenance over time. How is it tethered to keep it from following currents yet still allowing it to move with changing flows? How well does it hold up to storms, with their larger and less consistent wave heights? The most effective solutions are usually simple ones, not those with hundreds of moving parts that need to be lubricated, maintained, and replaced. An interesting concept, but I suspect it is not a very practical one, and not one that would scale up well.
we NEED MORE TECH LIKE THIS!
ENOUGH with the carbon generating energy sources and damn fossil fuels
How exactly does it work?
How does it store or transmits the energy?
How does is desalinate?
How does it survive harsh weather? How durable is it?
That's interesting. And it won't "compete with fossil fuels." Thank you.
I wonder if this thing could work in a lake with extremely high salt content like the Salton sea if it could help clean up that mess
Harnessing wave power is next-gen energy sourcing. I wish them luck!
Fantastic for coastal communities that have a need for clean water
Cool idea. I wonder how it will do once seals and sea lions jump on top.
Very cool! I wish them all the luck in the world. Hope you guys do a follow-up video when their first commercial unit goes live.
I think it’s going to fail. How long is it going to last in that harsh environment? You’d need a lot of them.
about 4.6 MW/H, not bad! altho it is not "power station level of production" .
U need min 100 MW/H to compete, most generate in gigawatts per hour
0:56 "We are not a company that sits in an office and looks at numbers and produces reports and publications and says that this is what our technology does."
In other words this is not a viable, scalable source of electricity. It sounds like a scam.
