Waves - A complex pressure field in which to work – hence so many different concepts Centre of mass and centre of buoyancy allow movement on all joints. Rams at each joint create hydraulic pressure which is taken around the array structure and drives marinised hydraulic motor/generator sets. Electricity is rectified to DC for offtake to offshore user or shore and then conditioned for use. developing commercially viable wave generators developing commercially viable wave generators
