Renewable Energy From The Ocean

SyncWave Systems is a technology commercialzation venture formed by Marinus Power LLC and SyncWave Energy Inc (SEI), of Pemberton, British Columbia dedicated to bringing SyncWave Power Resonator and associated technologies to market.

Read press release...

In 2006, SEI was convinced it had developed perhaps the most promising wave energy technology yet invented, and this belief had been validated and affirmed by several third party experts. In addition, several Pacific Northwest coastal communities expressed interest small, off-the-grid wave enrgy projects once SEI had a commercially viable device.

Next step for SEI was to raise funds for the engineering, fabrication, deployment, and ocean testing of a first generation SyncWave device. It made sense for SEI to identify potential partners with credibility and know-how to raise capital and to the provide requisite ocean engineering and management skills. OceanWorks International, a prior engineering contracter to SEI, facilitated the introduction of SEI to Marinus Power. In due course SEI and Marinus teamed to form SyncWave Systems and are now moving ahead with that project.

About SyncWave Energy Inc.

SyncWave Energy Inc. (SEI) is focussed on bringing to market in 2010 its novel, low-cost, advanced concept for wave energy conversion based on frequency. To date, high costs, permitting issues, and unknowns around reliability, longevity, and power quality, have limiting wave energy adoption. In response, SyncWave has executed a combined technical and market strategy to break through barriers to adoption.

SyncWave Power Resonator

SyncWave Power Resonator (“SPR”) is a surface-penetrating, slack-moored, self-reacting, tunable, phase-lag, point-absorber.

SyncWave taps the frequency domain of ocean swell to potentially double the efficiency of the competition.

  • SyncWave treats waves as a variable energy signal
  • The competition view each wave as a discrete event, with no concept of signal or resonance. They make power on the heave only
  • Because it is a resonator, SyncWave makes power up AND down.
  • SyncWave's proprietary SWELS tuning ensures it can do this efficiently across all wave frequencies.
