@daenumen I'm pretty sure if a company is investing in it, then it must have the potential to be viable power source. But i'm sure you own a multi million dollar company, so i'm sure you know what your talking about..
@BrassAxe well, the energy is effectively 'free', of course, its only a prototype, possibly to test the feasibility of such technology, not an active step towards implementation in the near future.
the range of motion and power generated per wave will be far lower compared to other hydropower generation systems.
the system itself is also bulky and generates relatively little relative to its size, ie misses out on calmer water energy also. etc etc
Probably they should be investigating new ways to save energy before they spend vast amounts of money. A case in point is that in 2005 the Government, Market Transformation Program had tests made on a new type of cleaner that employs Air Recycling Technology. The results show that it could save 1.5 Terawatt (1,500 Gigawatt) each year in the UK alone. Simply, by changing the type of cleaner we use in our homes. It was originally designed to remove health hazards inherent in the vacuum cleaner.
THIS IS THE "WAVE" OF THE FUTURE

@daenumen What do you mean what a waste?

@earwax1uk the cost of manufacture and maintainance (in terms of energy alone) is likely more than that gained by operation.

awesome, i love seen how people come up with ideas about how to harness this "endless" resource of energy.
