The
company’s
concept
uses
a
modular
array
of
steel
floats
hinged
to
piston-equipped
arms
that
pump
a
working
fluid
via
a
subsea
umbilical
pipeline
to
an
onshore
generator
in
time
with
the
rise
and
fall
of
incoming
waves.
EWP
has
engineered
the
machine
–
which
was
put
through
its
paces
with
differently
shaped
“Wave
Clapper”
and
“Power
Wing”
floats
–
to
be
attached
to
existing
shoreline
structures,
such
as
sea
walls,
breakwaters
and
piers,
to
get
around
the
complexities
and
costs
of
building
foundations
on
the
ocean
floor.
The
5kW
devices
were
tested…
