Among renewable energies sources, Ocean waves power, around the coasts worldwide, has been estimated to be in the order of 8,000-80,000TWh/y. The conversion of this resource into sustainable electrical power represents a major opportunity to nations endowed with such a kind of resource.At the present time most technological innovations aimed at exploiting such resource are at early stage of development, with only a handful of devices close to be at the commercial demonstration stage. Very few of them, though, operates converting the wave energy contents at its very origin: the orbital motion of water particles right below the ocean surface.The Seaspoon device catches the kinetic energy of ocean waves with promising efficiency conversion performance, according to specific “wave-motion climate”.
