The inventor of the C4 Floating Wave Energy Converter is truly a genius. This device harnesses the up and down motion of ocean waves to convert wave energy into mechanical power, which is then transformed into electricity through a gearbox. Developed by Sweden’s Core Power, this massive spherical generator is inspired by the motion of the heart. Its shell is made from lightweight yet durable composite materials, enabling it to withstand harsh marine environments. It uses a point absorber to convert the linear motion of the waves into rotational motion, which drives a generator via small gears. Compared to wind and solar power, wave energy is more stable and efficient due to the greater density of water compared to air, leading to higher energy output. Although there are over 1,500 wave energy patents globally, most have not been commercialized. The innovative design of the C4 overcomes efficiency and durability challenges, positioning it as a leading technology in wave power.
