ARCHIMEDES WAVESWING
SUBMERGED WAVE POW​ER BUOY –

RELIABLE AND AFFORDABLE WAVE POWER SOLUTION

​Our patented Archimedes Waveswing submerged wave power buoy is a unique device designed to provide reliable and affordable power for maritime communities and offshore applications. The Waveswing reacts to changes in sub-sea water pressure caused by passing waves and converts the resulting motion to electricity via a direct-drive generator. The system is suitable for deployment in water depths in excess of 25m and can be configured for ratings between 25kW and 250kW by selecting the appropriate scale.

​​​The technology was tested offshore Portugal in 2004 and narrowly missed a world first for delivery of offshore wave power to a national electricity grid, being beaten by Pelamis by some 6 weeks. Since that time, the Waveswing has been refined and developed to focus on customer needs in an emerging market. We intend to offer our 25kW Waveswing on a pre-commercial basis from mid-2017.

​​Key benefits of the Waveswing technology derive from its elegant and unique operating principle, its sub-sea location and the use of direct-drive technology. These combine to produce a system that is inherently survivable and reliable whilst providing best-in-class efficiency and cost and a minimal environmental foot-print.
