Oscillating Wave Surge Converter

Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-019869

Any of several devices that capture wave energy directly without a collector by using relative motion between a float/flap/membrane and a fixed reaction point; the float/flap/membrane oscillates along a given axis dependent on the device; mechanical energy is extracted from the relative motion of the body part relative to its fixed reference.
