SEARASER Wave Energy Device - How it works

Exciting new British invention
Wave energy converter providing clean renewable energy on demand

This ingenious device can pump water upwards using the free and abundant energy in the waves. Once the water is stored at a useful height, it can be released back down driving a turbine and producing an abundance of clean renewable energy.

Using pumped water storage is a great way to store energy cleanly to be accessed on demand.

The Searaser can also be used with offshore wind turbines, pumping water up the column of an offshore wind turbine, allowing it to fall and drive a hydro turbine adding more clean renewable electricity, ready to be fed to our homes.

Engineer and inventor Alvin Smith has come up with this marvellous device.
The main aim is to help free up humanities addiction to dirty and finite fossil fuels.

By 2015. 200 of these will be fitted in England. Enough to power a city.

cool!

This is a fantastic invention!!! No joke, something like this - with the size of the english coast could power half the grid with little disruption to the coastline! Just place this on rocky coasts. Put a few 200MW generators every mile or so along the coast and hey presto - cheap, renewable electrcity! I suggest putting larger floating devices on the west coast (not the English channel) where the swell / wavelengths are longer. Medium sized ones would work better in the english channel

its really a good invention

There is nothing new under the sun, All you need is a magnet, a coil, a diode and movement to create electrical power. This looks like an elaborate hoax to milk investors. Bill Gates came up with this idea to stop hurricanes, pump cold water to the surface, good luck getting a patent. Just too many moving parts to be feasible. I think one too many Gin & Tonics got his kit on. To each his own but even a caveman could do it!

Won't work... the size of the float to get any meaningful pressure and quantity, would be too big. There is an optimum size of a floating energy element, and it has to be small enough to extract the energy stored in the difference between a crest and the trough of the wave.

fantastic !!!

i see two problems. 1. each pump is fixed to the seafloor. 2. the buoy is an energy absorbing shape so very inefficient. MY COMPANY IS ATMOCEAN INC. and our system overcomes these costly design flaws. Feel free to contact me at atmocean.kithil@gmail.com.

green power

Cool idea! What about another turbine blade attached to the pressured side with a check valve? Might increase efficiency... getting the idea from a Hydraulic Ram Pump to prevent the water back flushing yet harnessing the power from both the pressure and the falling of water on turbine blades.
