Certainly seems an impressive output for something so simple and I like how easy it is to maintain, especially compared to wind turbines. A bit of camouflage on the outside with rocks and sculpting and you'd not even know it was there. Built well it would probably last for at least a century.

The Mutriku wave power plant is also a place where researchers can develop and improve turbines, increase efficiency and reliability. This research project is called OPERA and has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program. opera-h2020.eu/

16 to power 250 households... That's a little below 16 households per turbine. A standalone CANDU 650 type reactor can power around 390 000 households. You could make a thousand turbines like that, with all that concrete and still not come close. Not to mention that you can make one CANDU plant with 8 units and the number of households it can power is measured in several millions.

@@ShelbyRestorations By such a difference in energy production and efficiency the risk is negligible, especially considering how low it is with modern solutions. Also, not every country has islands or a shore and those with shores have limited space, so it'd be a huge waste of space and materials for the production, when you could just build 1 nuclear plant. We are talking about 1 plant vs hundreds of thousands of turbines. It's just not a viable replacement, physically, economically and logically. Recycling nuclear waste, like in France, is more viable in this scenario. As it stands, nuclear power is the most efficient clean power we know.

Of course, although not optimised for it most turbines would turn in the same direction if the gas flow comes from either side. This method seems to offer the advantage that it could be integrated into sea walls that are in place primarily for protection thus defraying overall costs for the turbines and the sea wall. Also it could be integrated into ground built offshore wind turbines. It also has the advantage that its moving parts are largely clear of the corrosive effects of salt water and are accessible above water.

The design is novel, in that the shaft always turns in the same direction. In doing so, the acute attack angle, causes the turbine to "stall", and often in need of being electrically started. Suited only for large surf conditions. If it were effective, it would be commonplace. There are better methods, of utilizing the OWC air flow. The video is done well, and clearly explained.

Also a misconception is that Bernoulli interactions and the Coandă effect are responsible for generating lift on airfoils. They are not. The pressure differentials generated on and around an airfoil are approximate enough to Bernoulli that Bernoulli's formulas are used in designing aircraft, but Bernoulli forces contribute little to lift generation by way of an airfoil. Airfoils utilize the vacuum generated on their top side to pull down and accelerate it downwards, and in so doing, the opposite reaction is lift: It's Newtonian. Airfoil equipped aircraft are essentially horizontal rockets, but much more efficient. Airfoils are more efficient in sustaining flight because the majority of the energy utilized to maintain lift for airfoil equipped aircraft comes from gravity: 66% to 75%, or more.

Interesting, What if one installed a (modified) device like that on a displacement vessel. It begins with gravity pulling the vessel downwards. While the vessel moving down, air is let into a cylinder that are open to the sea. A wave moves the vessel upwards. The now trapped air makes energy by using a piston with a permanent magnet and a linear motor (alternator) to capture the energy.

This is a pretty cool how direction of air flow is irrelevant. You could make a more efficient wind generator functional in only one direction but you would need two. Double the price! You would also need something like a diaphragm to select generator based on direction of air flow. Price and complexity go up! Kind of reminds me of the movie Logan's Run where they used generators operated by the tide. With the decades of ocean studies, implementing these generators on a grand scale seems feasible. You probably to eliminate the cost and construction headaches of the concrete chamber by mounting the generator in a PVC tube and mounting the tube vertically.

The problem is the turbine takes time to slow down before it can change direction. Changing direction makes it highly inefficient. This system would work better in one direction with a heavy flywheel. Adopt the system used in turbo cars and use an air bypass valve. As the wave draws back and creates a vacuum, the valve can open bypassing the turbine allowing it to continue in the same direction while still generating power, the valve closes again as the wave comes back up pressurising the chamber and driving the turbine further.

@B M : The wave energy of the oceans is not the same all over the world. The regions around the equator, for example, don't have enough energy to harvest it reasonably with the oscillation water column concept (at least not for now). Search for "ocean wave energy map" on google pictures.

How do they tackle the high tide and low tide times? What if the water goes inside the wells turbine chamber? Do they install one way flap to keep the water from entering inside the chamber? If yes, then will the pressure difference is still maintained to keep the turbine in operation? I'm curious Please explain anyone
@IdeasfortheGreenPlanet
@IdeasfortheGreenPlanet 2 ай бұрын
As you already suggested, there is a flap that can close the opening. This also happens during service. The tide is not the problem; the turbine chamber is much higher than the high tide. An operational wave power plant based on this Oscillating Water Column principle has been working since 2012.

There are 16 chambers with Wells turbines - like in Limpet, just smaller. This technology is under continuous development.
