Wave powered ships

Former Community Member

We could reduce the fuel usage and emissions from ships if we used the energy from waves. This could be done by adding an extra layer to the sides of ships which included one way openings. Waves would force water through the openings to create a store of pressurised water. This pressurised water can then be used to generate electricity or to push the ship forward.

    Hello, I think that your idea is good, but I'm not sure if adding the feature on the side would be appropriate, because it'll difficult the movement of the ship and the hull should be as smooth as possible. Maybe would be worthwhile adding some internal pendulums or other mechanical devices which can transform the rolling movement energy into electricity, perhaps inside the ballast and water supply tanks. 

    What do you think? 

    Regards
