WaveCity captures sea-wave energy to generate electricity using a special turbine, one-way gearbox and flywheel that stores kinetic energy. It converts irregular wave motion into steady power, making coastal energy generation efficient, reliable and highly sustainable.
Description
WaveCity is a pioneering innovation that harnesses the immense but underutilized breaking energy of sea waves and converts it into continuous, renewable electricity. When sea waves crash onto the shore, a large portion of their kinetic energy is simply lost. WaveCity captures this energy by directing waves to strike a specially engineered aerofoil-shaped turbine. This turbine has significant mass and is designed to translate the irregular, oscillating force of waves into consistent rotational motion.
As each wave hits the turbine, its force increases the speed of a heavy flywheel connected through a self-adjusting gearbox. The flywheel stores energy in the form of rotational kinetic energy, steadily increasing its rpm with each incoming wave. Once the flywheel reaches around 5000 rpm, it is clutched to a generator, which then produces electricity. When the flywheel slows slightly after transferring energy, the next wave replenishes the lost rotation, enabling nearly continuous power generation.
One of the most remarkable aspects of WaveCity is its automatic gearbox system. Traditional gearboxes struggle with uneven input like waves, but WaveCity’s design ensures power transfer in only one direction, regardless of high or low tides. This makes the system stable, efficient, and capable of handling natural variations in wave intensity.
WaveCity is environmentally friendly, requires no fuel, and produces no emissions. It is ideal for coastal regions, islands, and marine research centers where wave energy is abundant. With proper scaling, WaveCity can supplement national grids and contribute to clean, sustainable energy goals.
More than a project, WaveCity represents a vision for tapping infinite natural forces and transforming wasted kinetic energy into meaningful power, making it a promising solution for future renewable energy demands.
