Novel Design of an Ocean Wave Power Device

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper presents a novel device for capturing the energy of sea-waves and the construction of its model for conducting test in a towing-tank. The paper also presents the research program and general analyses on selecting the hull form and systems of anchoring and propulsion. In addition, it includes remarks and observations gathered following initial tests and measurements of the device operating in regular wave conditions.
