Searaser - Wave Power

We're developing an innovation called Searaser -- which we believe could solve two of the biggest challenges facing renewable energy -- cost and variable output.

Invented by Devon engineer Alvin Smith, Searaser harnesses the almost constant power of ocean swells to create electricity on demand.

It's such a simple design and we believe it'll produce electricity cheaper than any other wave-power technology, or indeed any other type of renewable energy.

Potentially it could be cheaper than all existing sources of electricity -- including gas, coal and nuclear -- and it's carbon free.

simple and clean.

this is sustainable energy i can get behind

[michaelfbuckland]

i know someone who has researched this at phd level - this has to be way to go for Britain, with all its untapped tidal power - there would be some local ecological damage I believe, but not as much as with nuclear power, and no threat to life

I thought of this like 10 minutes before this video was uploaded. l:(

the main idea is smart , but waves aren`t going straight up and down , so it is like shown a little bit childish .

I'm sure they wont produce more energy that they need for their construction and maintenance... Just saying.

@lukalupita But look at them, if I was a fish I wouldn't mind them.

That's what she said :D

The only problem is when we put to many in the sea and ruin ocean life -____- therefore the plan backfires. But I am completely for having some that doesn't disturb too much! :D

good quality and idea

[LePrEcHaUnIn]

what does that mean for the animals in the sea?
