Ocean swell energy converter / wave power generator / WEC
Issued patent
This technology is the first to convert kinetic energy into electric energy, by using the elliptic movement of the waves along both the vertical and horizontal axes, thereby producing twice and more energy than other existing system.
Initial calculations of the devices operation show capability to harness up to 25% of the waves energy, twice and even more than other wave-power devices.

An innovative technology to produce electricity from ocean wave energy.
This unique device is the first to use the whole elliptic way of movement of the waves, and by that takes the full advantage of the wave energy in order to produce electricity.
As a result, this device has higher profitability than other existing devices producing electricity from waves power.
