The Kobe University Graduate School of Engineering presented and exhibited a high-efficiency gyro wave-activated power generation system at the Autumn 2008 Innovation Japan show held in Tokyo.
This research was started in 2000 and has included testing in the ocean, but this system is a very unique system that uses the principle of a control moment gyro, which is used in attitude control of the Space Station.
When the oscillating movement of the buoy caused by waves and the gimbal rotational frequency are synchronized, a gyro moment is generated, and when this occurs, the gimbal continuously rotates to generate electricity.
The University has already acquired patents in the United States, the EU, and Japan, so next it plans to launch a venture company and expand the business for practical applications.

Thanks for the video. It helped with my concept design. I wonder if my concept might be used with your generator as either a wind generator or as part of a floating generator system?

Wish I would have thought of this. I wonder if it works with a Tesla coil? I bet it could, and modify it with AC current.

This is great. Sure it's probably not very new, but in reality very few great innovations have no new concepts.

Definitely something to use.
