Inertial hydrodynamic pump and wave engine

This device is a floating pump designed to harness ocean waves. It uses a special tapered tube that sits in the water; as waves pass, the tube's shape helps push water upwards out of a spout. This ejected water can then be used to spin a turbine and generate electricity.

Why it matters: Since 2022, advancements in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and simulation software have made it significantly easier to model and optimize complex hydrodynamic structures like the tapered tube, potentially accelerating design and efficiency improvements.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateCustom tapered tube, hydroelectric turbine
