Pressure-regulating hydrodynamic pump and wave engine

This invention describes a floating device that generates electricity from ocean waves. As waves make the device bob up and down, it uses this motion to suck water into a tube and then push it into a storage tank inside the float. The water from this tank then flows through a small turbine, which spins a generator to produce electricity, with a special chamber to ensure a steady flow for the turbine. The claims specifically focus on this pump-and-turbine system.

Why it matters: While only two years have passed, advancements in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) could now enable more precise and efficient hydrodynamic design for the pump and buffering system, potentially improving energy capture and stability.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedHydrodynamic design, custom buoy, turbine integration.
