Developing a WITT prototype which will harvest wave energy from all six degrees of motion for deployment and testing in marine buoy and small vessel applications

海浪是一种可再生资源，占地球面积的70%。但将海浪情绪转化为电能是一项挑战，部分原因是海浪的速度相对较低，运动也不规律。威特有限公司（WL）设计了一种名为威特的能源发电技术创新，能够利用波浪能。这项创新涉及一项专利传输系统，该系统将上下、前后、左右整整六度的机械运动转化为单一的单向旋转，用于驱动高效的发电机发电。没有其他传输方式能够收集所有这些混沌运动并将其转化为可用的能量。witt可以缩放到任何尺寸，并根据应用安装在不同的外壳内。密封装置的操作是潜在的免维护，适合海洋环境。它也可以由久经考验的工业组件构建。由于这个原因，WITT提供了一个比目前可用的更引人注目的海洋能量收集装置。该项目将创造一个能够提供15瓦功率的原型装置，用于海洋浮标和小船，在这些地方，自然产生的运动能量可以转化为可转换的能量。许多海上浮标需要为仪表和照明设备提供电力。太阳能光伏经常被使用，但有日光使用限制，需要广泛的电池支持。小型船舶、游艇、摩托艇等也可以使用太阳能光伏，但也有同样的限制。小型风力涡轮机也被使用，但噪音很大，而且只能在有风的条件下工作。否则，电力来自柴油动力。该项目将展示WITT在海洋浮标和小型船舶上的应用，以展示其引人注目的能量收集能力，并将展示与所有小型船舶相比，使用WITT发电可以实现的成本和环境节约。

Sea waves are a renewable resource comprising 70% of the planet. But converting sea wavemotion into electrical energy is challenging, in part due to the relatively low speeds andirregular movements of ocean waves.WITT Ltd (WL) has devised a technological innovation in energy generation called the WITTthat has the capability to harness wave energy. The innovation concerns a patentedtransmission system that converts mechanical motion in the full six degrees,up and down,back and forth, side to side, into a single unidirectional rotation used to drive an efficientgenerator for the production of electricity. No other transmission is capable of collecting allof this chaotic motion and turning it into useable power. WITTs can be scaled to any size andfitted within different enclosures dependent on the application. Sealed unit operation ispotentially maintenance free and suitable for marine environments. It can also be built fromtried and tested industry components. For this reason the WITT provides a far morecompelling marine energy harvesting device than is currently available.This project will create a prototype unit capable of delivering 15 watts for use both in marinebuoys and small boats where naturally occurring motional energy can be converted intousable power. Many marine buoys require electrical power for instrumentation and lightingdevices. Solar PV is often used but has daylight use limitations and requires extensive batterysupport. Small marine vessels, yachts, motor boats, etc also can use of solar PV with thesame limitations. Small wind turbines are also used but are noisy and only work in windyconditions. Otherwise electricity is sourced from diesel power.This project will demonstrate WITTs in marine buoy and small vessel use to show itscompelling energy harvesting capability and will demonstrate the cost and environmentalsavings than can be achieved by generating electricity from a WITT compared to diesel for allsmall vessels.
