 Waveenergyfyn

Waveenergyfyn has devoloped a new wave-energi-system called "The Crestwing" which consist of floating pontoon and differs from other floating devices on market by the manner it utilizes the hydrodynamic powers.

An element very decisive is the systems utilization of the overlying atmospheric pressure on the relapsing pontoon, which is not depended of its own weight. This allows an uncomplicated production of pontoons, light of weight which reduces the material costs. 

The system is  a potential system as well as a hydrodynamic system. It displaces like a lightweighter and produces like a heavyweigther.

What characterize the plant is: simplicity, high efficiency, high stability at sea, low investment, long lifetime

FOUNDATION

The foundation is primarily the concept of the system and the work effort which has already been expended. 

Model tests have been performed using a scale model (length scale 1:30) in regular and irregular wave states that can be found in Assessment of Wave Energy Devices. Best Practice as used in Denmark (Frigaard et al., 2008). The tests were carried out at Dept. of Civil Engineering, Aalborg University (AAU) in the 3D deep water wave tank.

Innovatory worth and risks

The innovatory worth of the Crestwing can, by well planned work progress, be compared with the introduction of the contemporary aerodynamic windmill-wing. Utilization of the wave energy through the overlying atmospheric pressure and the hydrodynamic shape of the pontoons and efficient wavecontrole will here be the decisive factors.

The Crestwing`s exploitation of the overlying atmospheric pressure and it’s ability to hold and steady the passing waves can become a crucial innovation within the field of wave energy.

The risk or chance are depended on, how well planned the concept in question is.

Co-operation

Waveenergyfyn is interested in co-operation with seriously Institutions, Compagnies and Investors

There is a patent pending for this WEC.
