Introduction to Buoyancy Hydro's wave energy converter. A new system using the "air lift pump" method to convert compressed air to electricity through a water turbine with a high efficiency. Uses/ wave power and energy storage.

  • @AircondGypsy - the air is injected above the turbine, only water is flowing through the turbine

  • so is the turbine located below where the air is injected then? or does the mixed air/water flow thru the blades?

  • @AircondGypsy - Thanks for the positive comments, Flow mass is important however pressure drop created by the air above the turbine is the critical factor. The reason that we are able to create a high efficiency.

    We have designed wave units to create the compressed air directly from ocean waves to covert to electricity using this system. With the concept that performance, reliability and life span can be increased. Wish us luck and generous investors.

  • not sure what I'm seeing here guys. are you using the flowing mass to spin a turbine rotor? How much torque can you harvest for how much air injected to induce the flow? and can a wave generator produce enough lpm to run this flow? if so then it's brilliant.

    I realize this is not "free" energy but harvesting whats already there in new and exciting ways. just because we're not doing it already does not mean we should quit trying new things / ways.

    edison and tesla would be proud
