Have you ever seen anything in the world that the sea will not destroy?
A simple mercury-filled sea-saw system that uses buoyancy on 2 ends, an internal tube of mercury, and harnesses energy from the flowing mercury inside is much easier to build, doesn't require computers or active monitoring, and doesn't require seals that are in contact with moving parts. It can also be made out of cheaper materials and, if hit by a ship, will just float on the ocean until picked up. Cheap and simple.
Interesting approach here. I am also very impressed with Oscilla Power Inc. and their designs which are now being deployed for real world testing.
This looks great in simulation and I would love to see this project succeed but I have seen the kind of mess created of "Robust" technology when Poseidon decides to play with it. Maybe yours is the one to prove me wrong.
This is 95%. congratulations corpower.
This is sweet! Come test them in Lake Erie, Ohio! It's very shallow and consistently wavy
They don't look like they'd survive ice and Lake Erie is usually the first Great Lake to freeze due to it's shallow overall depth.
@@xplmr1 good point! I’d love to see us adopt more clean energy solutions but the ice would definitely be a problem
If it was a removable system that can un attached and reattached. Could be something that is removed and stored for the season and relaunched when ice is melted.
Excellent. We need more like this and enough intelligent and fast acting people to implement this in countries..The latter being the most difficult part I think seeing the state of our nowadays governments...
Amazing that even without any study in the area I was looking at the measurement system of a caliper had designed a system to generate energy with waves in the same style, but after a long time I saw that I could use a permanent magnet on the float and a coil in the fixed part and a sliding system with a ceramic shaft and Stabilizers using an aluminum part and a magnet to prevent the waves from causing the buoy to reach the limit of the coils and cause some damage to the system. The coil and magnet sliding system on a ceramic shaft would have a very small friction and would be easily replaced. With few moving parts, the most stressed being the support cables on the seabed.
People are complaining about the number of moving parts. My brother in christ, I'm pretty sure cars and/or boats have the same amount of parts.
Exactly this is code for "this is too difficult for ME to understand". Cars, Planes, Computers.. all have moving parts
I can't imagine what they'll think about Planes, Coal Plants, Nuclear Plants, trains, etc.
And I bet they also hate planes and the space shuttle.
Ships, trains, and especially planes, power plants, or freaking space shuttles require a massive amount of maintanance and people operating them, usually a whole team. I can see why people, especially those with some understanding of mechanics and sustainable systems, are sceptical. CorPower probably (hopefully) took all that into account so let's wait and see how things go.
@florian5670 yeah. There's some underwater glider company using the same mounts, similar livery colors, and using ties tidal/ wave motion. I wouldn't be surprised if the two companies were two sides of the same coin
This is awesome!
Brilliant technology. Looks way better than my degree project.
Single critical point of failure is at the interface / seal , where the rod(s) enter the sphere. The problem is not in the area of the shaft that travels through the seal regularly, this will be ‘wiped’ clean during normal operation. However, any part of the rod that does not ‘cycle’ through the seal regularly, will be highly prone to biological attachments (remember the rod is stationary in the sea, anchored to the bottom.)
This buildup will destroy water tightness over months, rather than years, ie maintenance dives are required to keep the extremities of the rods clean. Or, each cycle should be a full cycle, that might help offset the risk of biological attachments.
Nice work!!
Бестолковая ерунда, которая себя не окупает
Brief but valuable content! Thanks!
Like you said hydraulic engineer must spend planty of time because of destructive effects involving electronic engineering for example as You mention rotation wave shuttle thus the rotor with it's vertical travel ( if I am right?!) would limited the eight of wave form. This entire system has planty technological challenges - THANKS! 😊
Are you interested in developing this technologies that related to wave or ocean energy?
@@mohamednasser5009 Wave energy and hydro energy can be categorized in a so call "sea state" and variety of wavelenghts or periods of wave can be form in one. So intradisciplinar approach is very important like in science so as in topic. It is one big grid.
You could have a few designed for big waves.
I will try this in Morocco
Sounds cool
Probably the main mistake is that the generator needs to be positioned near the bottom. And let the buoy float on top. Then you don't need to waste energy on lifting a heavy buoy. And it's always quiet at the bottom. There is no sea disturbance and it is much closer to the cables. The buoy itself can be made completely autonomous.
I assume the 4 rod are in a sealed cylinder and not exposed to seawater. I would interested to know how the system copes with changing sea levels and lateral forces from storms. I guess there must be some hinging/flexing arrangement.
Interestning!
that's... impressive
How closely can these be placed to one another?
This video is much better. How does the power get to shore?
Exactly what I was wondering as well
It say 600kwh to 800kwh biggest wave in official website
@@MrBesmir7 He asked "how," not "how much" but ngl I read it that way the first time too.
Cable.
Cable.
The caveman and his wheel started the observation of perpetual motion. A technology found in ancient archaeological sites.The power harnessed from motion.
Still in the concept stage right?
Always seemed like buoys could be design for energy farming. What about smaller ones set up by waterfalls/fountains
You mean like Niagara falls hydroelectric power plants? 😁
@@bricknmotor That is successful for that geography/construction but bodies of water across nation could be utilized to get hydro power with right valve construction even without the Niagara geographic features. It's more microgrid or supplemental concept than supplying large area demand itself.
😮 Impossible! It's a magic!
So how is power sent to land?
Yeaahh buoii 🫰🏼🤤
Grean energy for future
I would like to know more information about the outer shell layer of CorPower and the impact state parameters of the species that can parasitize on the shell layer
None. The world is over in less than 15yrs anyways. So drink em if u got em
Encourage it, then benifit directly or indirectly.
Something you can scrape, how would it compromise, drag !.
Eu tenho uma ideia muito boa para gerar energia elétrica.
How does it transfer the electricity though? Through wires and tunnels on the sea floor?
yup
What are the negative effects of this on marine life and oceans currents ?
As the original pressure is absorbed, this will change the other organic processus which were supposed to take place
How so?
It will only take a tiny bit of the seas power.
If you could grow mollusk on the under surface you could harvest them occasionally.
Or have little reefs under them and make it a marine production reserve.
No fishing but plenty of breeding for smaller fish.
I need to do a study on mathematical modeling of this device and its energy storage and control. I also need to simulate it with matlab. Can someone help me? Maybe you can suggest a source or at least an idea?
Maybe you should first do a study of things that the sea can not destroy.
@@Deontjie why are you talking nonsense?
@@WesleyFrtthe sea trashes everything with a complicated exterior
How does the captured energy move off buoy?
From what I can tell, it's via under water cable system ok the seafloor
Deberían ubicarse intercaladas para que una boya no interfiera con la energía de otra boya y así aprovechar toda la energía del frente de olas.
On my channel the very interesting gravity engine what not depend from wind at all.
sea can maybe make electric curent , just coinecting whires to two places to sea water might have electric current , if magnetir rocks are in sea sand or floor , and water works likw rotating engine with copper in it, salt water works as a whire
Where is this working energy farm located?
Our first commercial scale system, the CorPower C4, is deployed offshore Agucadoura in northern Portugal. corpowerocean.com/corpower-c4-exporting-power-to-the-portuguese-grid/
How will the electricity be transferred away from the buoys?
По кабелю. Как ещё?
Are they plastic? Can they survive getting hit by a ship?
I like the concept. could they be scaled up and down for off grid and deep sea too?
All large, floating contraptions are destroyed by large storms unless they can dive.
For wave energy devices, such diving to protect from storm loads is best done in the frequency domain. corpowerocean.com/corpower-ocean-announces-wave-energy-breakthrough/
@@corpowerocean7527 I could not find any info about your "frequency domain" in your link. Instead I found some info about resonance. These contraptions are too small to resonate with the waves. By the way I did some work in this field. I designed diving contraption and I found Irish businessman who was willing to build it. Fortunately, we had enough common sense to abandon this risky project. A few years later I invented cheap material (strong basalt foam) which made the diving contraptions much more economical. I have not built anything yet because I have more important energy projects now.
What is the right distance of converters from each other?
Please notice!
Our CorPack wave clusters have the Wave Energy Converters installed with 150m spacing, delivering approximately 15 MW/km2 in power per used ocean space. The modular approach with many relatively small devices packed in high density clusters enables very efficient use of ocean space. 15 MW/km2 can be compared with a typical offshore wind farm delivering 3-5 MW/km2.
cool
My question is, will this device create more energy than the energy it took to make it? Is it a positive net energy?
If it's durable, you'd probably need just a few years to make it worthwhile.
@@mellkiades , profitability or net energy?
@@Physicsnerd1sorry, yes I was talking about net energy.
People here complain about too many parts because everytime there's maintenance or parts to replace, your net energy goal gets delayed. A simpler design is always better.
... those experience struts could've been replace by large Watts linkages, with one on each side of the power unit, for a low budget build 🤔😆
How do I invest?
Great stuff! Who needs dirty old fossil fuels?!
You, right now.
Go in nazare
Big wave !!!!
Put them during high wing as it will have big waves !!!!
Вау
How this energy will get to the city?
I am also wondering the same thing. How is this energy going to be transferred ?
@@mexicanpanda211 They can store it in same container or that machine and it would be picked up by some moving charger or transmitter
CorPack clusters of these devices connect up to an electrical collection hub, from here the electricity is exported to shore over a subsea cable. ua-cam.com/video/-XWbVMtNnaw/v-deo.html
Good,can we cooperate？
Thanks 🙏❤ How to apply on this company
Are you interested?
Very Much
This machine's efficiency would be increased in a simple way (Hint: Lateral movement of tides were not considered well enough)
What is the price of it?
se alguém quer o projeto , posso mandar.
Is it good for my bitcoin rig ?
Consider an anchored semi submerged platform, octagon shaped which supports the generation unit structure out of the corrosive water and the bobbing stator will be in the center with the metals above the water. Any moving parts need to be away from saltwater for economical service life. I recommend the power cables be buried much deeper than anchors can reach, internet cables get snagged frequently
300kw means each unit could supply 10 houses. Seems like you'd need a few thousand of these buoys to make it a worthwhile generation amount that would justify the infrastructure. Would be alot of complaints from boaters and the environmentalists

The modular approach with many relatively small devices packed in high density clusters enables very efficient use of ocean space. 15 MW/km2 can be compared with a typical offshore wind farm delivering 3-5 MW/km2. The high power density of this solution means the use of ocean space is minimized. The single-leg mooring arrangement also means a minimum interference with the seabed and minimum disturbance to boaters and fishing activities. Fishermen in Portugal are seen laying nets just on the perimeter of our wave site, as the foundations and other structures on the site seem to increase fish activity in the area.
300kW can power close to 300 households as the average electricity consumption (in the US and Europe) is about 1kW (< 10000 kWh annually). www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=97&t=3
Are you comparing kw and kwh? The project will be successful! 😅
In optimal conditions, not considering transmission losses. Seems you just pee'd on their batteries.
Это только мультик, рабочих образцов нет?
Есть!

Может работать и без воды.
Tethered balloons?
No. A flywheel.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Interesting but I have a much better design that doesn't rely on that vulnerable seal or on computerization to deal with rough weather. You make a design that looks like a pair of old barbells or 2 maracas attached together. Inside, there's a large tube filled partially with mercury(and yes, its mercury because its my idea and I like mercury). In the middle of this system is a simple pivot point attached to a simple anchoring system. As the device sea-saws, the heavy mercury turns turbines inside the sealed inner tube. The wiring exits the inside tube and the body of the thing itself - since its multi-layered - through an easily-sealed port.
The fulcrum of this sea-saw machine doesn't need to be an expensive bearing and the device itself can be made out of cheap materials. The multiple layers and single hold in the device for wiring ensures that it won't get filled with water nor will mercury leak out even if the inner-most tube fails. In fact, if there's an internal leak, you'll be able to notice it when the device doesn't rock back and forth. This design is far simpler than yours, doesn't rely on active monitoring, actuators, and computers, and its much more robust, easily-installed, and practically immune to damage. If a ship hits it and breaks it from its anchor, it'll just float on the water until recovered with minimal repairs needed.
I'm giving you this free idea because I love mercury and think it should be used for the production of renewable energy.
Now put a keel on it so that it doesnt need an anchor, shape the body like a wing/sail, and put a rudder on it 😂😊
If i just have money i can invest one of these in the Philippines 😅😅 unfortunately im just a poor boy scrolling in the internet
Electric / Battery = Jamu & Kashmir Lithium ion ?👈
I can't wait for my electric bill to go up even though the cost of energy has basically become zero 😂
I fail to see how pumping is similar to human heart ass****e
Inspired by the flesh light 😂😂😂😂
I don’t like the thought of this being installed in many of the world’s beautiful beaches along with ocean wind turbines.
A megawatt is a unit of POWER, not energy.
Because it depends on time. Multiply power by the time in seconds the machine is working and you'll get Joules.
@VinniusHKruger Your comment is correct but irrelevant. My statement is very simple: If you use the term "megawatt" to refer to energy, it is an incorrect statement. A megawatt is a unit of power; a megawatt-hour is a unit of energy (as is a joule).
very complicate .l heave something simple end eficase
WHAT ??
Very complicate personal for you, not for firms.
l can make beter projekt to this
Can I talk with you ,I have a project can we design it together?
Estupidez , e muito carro , eu tenho modelo muito mais eficaz e mais barato , muito mais simples.
