The NoviOcean Wave Energy Converter operates by ingeniously using buoyancy to capture the energy of ocean waves. Here's how it works:
How it Works
1. The rectangular shape resembles the wave’s shape.
2. When in the lowest point, valve closes, holding the float in a fixed position relative the sea floor.
3. The wave rises around the float, and up to three meters of the float is locked below water.
4. 600 cubic meters of air is trapped below surface.
5. Valve opens at correct pressure. 600 tons of lifting force pushes high pressure water onto the Pelton turbine, turning the generator.

Principles
1. large float
2. hydraulic cylinder
3. Pelton turbine
Simply the well-proven hydro power plant, taken to sea and inverted
Converting the slow wave motion to high-speed generator RPM, in the most simple and well proven way.
Lifting force vs surge force: 20 to 1!

is 600 tons in four-meter waves for a float net area of 260 sq. meters (38 x 8 m)
need about 30x larger area to create a similar force. This equals about 8 000 sq. m or 800 x 10 meters, which will be far too heavy and costly
high amounts of energy per ton of material in the ocean, buoyant concepts are in our opinion the only realistic solution. The others are simply way too costly vs output
