Development of a prototype Volta wave energy converter. Commercialisation has not yet been achieved in the wave energy sector. Volta addresses themajority of the barriers: rugged and simple, reduced mooring and PTO costs, easy to scale up, semi-skilled labour, international applicability, rapid deployment. Volta converts the surge motion of ocean waves into useful electrical energy in a novel and sustainable way. The waves oscillate multiple flaps along a submerged, semi-flexible, central spine. These pump seawater to a hydroelectric turbine which efficiently coverts the power to electricity.This project concentrates on a small scale device which is targeting private power users, such as isolated settlements, marine installations and eco beach resorts.

开发伏打波能量转换器原型。波浪能领域尚未实现商业化。 Volta 解决了大部分障碍：坚固且简单、降低系泊和 PTO 成本、易于扩大规模、半熟练劳动力、国际适用性、快速部署。 Volta 以一种新颖且可持续的方式将海浪的涌动转化为有用的电能。波浪沿着浸入水中的半柔性中央脊柱振荡多个皮瓣。这些装置将海水泵入水力发电涡轮机，从而有效地将电力转换为电力。该项目集中于针对私人电力用户的小型设备，例如偏僻的定居点、海洋设施和生态海滩度假村。
