This shows the beach unit as of March 6, 2009. It shows the same unit on shore as in an earlier video, but the weight has been increased to 170 pounds, with a 300 lb. counterweight in the sea, lifted by a 50 gallon drum. One must imagine what it would do in a sea with more serious waves in order to appreciate the potential to generate useful energy. Things much larger than a 50 gallon drum could easily be attached, and scaling up the device would increase the available forces on shore at minimal costs.

  • Because maintaining a generator at sea involves some pretty complicated maintenance issues. It can and is being done, however, by other devices that are far more expensive to build. Yes, I have built a generator already, and will post a picture of it when I get time.

  • Why not generate energy in the ocean and transfer it to shore via underwater cables?
