Eco Wave Power’s floaters are an elegant example of how simple motion from nature can be transformed into clean electricity. Positioned near shorelines, these buoyant devices rise and fall with the rhythm of ocean waves. This vertical movement is transferred to hydraulic pistons, which compress and decompress biodegradable hydraulic fluid in a closed-circuit system.
As the fluid is pushed from the floaters, it flows toward land-based accumulators, where pressure gradually builds up. Once it reaches a sufficient level, this stored pressure is released to drive a hydraulic motor, which in turn spins an electric generator. The generated power is then converted by an inverter into electricity that can be fed directly into the grid. After the pressure is released, the fluid is returned to a storage tank and reused—completing a self-contained, efficient, and environmentally responsible loop.
The system is remarkably responsive, beginning to produce electricity with wave heights as low as 0.5 meters. A smart automation system constantly monitors the conditions of both the sea and the machinery, adjusting performance to optimize energy output and protect the equipment. When wave activity becomes too intense—such as during a storm or unusually high swells—the floaters automatically lift above the water’s surface, temporarily suspending operation to avoid damage. Once conditions normalize, the floaters lower themselves back into the water and resume generating power.
By utilizing safe, near-shore installations and a controlled hydraulic process, Eco Wave Power’s system minimizes risk to marine life and coastal ecosystems. This technology not only provides a reliable source of renewable energy but also represents a significant step forward in diversifying the world’s clean energy mix—particularly for coastal communities seeking sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels.
