Power comes in waves

The awesome power of ocean waves is often associated with destructive forces.
Perth’s Bombora Wave Power thinks differently. The ocean is actually a vast, untapped source of renewable energy.

The company is developing a V-shaped device that combines a unique membrane with a pneumatic air pump to spin turbines and generate energy.

Each wave energy convertor is designed to produce 1.5MWe (megawatt electrical) of energy, enough to power 500 homes and cut annual carbon emissions by 3300 tonnes. The device can be configured for low and high wave environments.
