The ideal way is of course to use natural resources without necessarily depleting them and to also use materials and methods that have lesser carbon footprint than the ones that nuclear and fossil energy use.

They call their concept design for a Wave Energy Converter (WEC) the Waveline Magnet. Basically it\u2019s a device you place on the water that will convert the waves into power levels and they do it in a more affordable and low-maintenance way compared to other current technologies that we have right now. It looks like a yellow spine floating on the water and that is the way that they designed it to be.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-395714\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/08\/spine-like-floating-platform-harnesses-water-wave-energy\/2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/08\/19\/spine-like-floating-platform-harnesses-water-wave-energy\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Spine-like floating platform harnesses water wave energy\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/08\/spine-like-floating-platform-harnesses-water-wave-energy\/2.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-395714\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/08\/spine-like-floating-platform-harnesses-water-wave-energy\/2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/08\/19\/spine-like-floating-platform-harnesses-water-wave-energy\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Spine-like floating platform harnesses water wave energy\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/08\/spine-like-floating-platform-harnesses-water-wave-energy\/2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"6683677248\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"6fcd4146b1b07bf24212ba73-text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"6fcd4146b1b07bf24212ba73-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s actually made up of several floating platforms and they are put together through a central power system that looks like a spine. They designed it to be lightweight and modular but also sturdy enough to be able to survive any water environment, even oceans with strong waves. People can actually ride on it although it\u2019s not really meant to be a surfing device or anything like that. It is able to regulate how much energy will be extracted from the wave so it will not cause any disruption in the water eco-system should there be any. It also has a seamless interaction with the waves.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-395715\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/08\/spine-like-floating-platform-harnesses-water-wave-energy\/3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/08\/19\/spine-like-floating-platform-harnesses-water-wave-energy\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Spine-like floating platform harnesses water wave energy\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/08\/spine-like-floating-platform-harnesses-water-wave-energy\/3.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-395715\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/08\/spine-like-floating-platform-harnesses-water-wave-energy\/3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/08\/19\/spine-like-floating-platform-harnesses-water-wave-energy\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Spine-like floating platform harnesses water wave energy\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/08\/spine-like-floating-platform-harnesses-water-wave-energy\/3.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>The design is simple enough and is also meant to be easily repaired and maintained. It\u2019s made up of manageable recyclable materials like reinforced plastic and so it really adds to the sustainability of the device. A single WEC can produce 100 MW of energy when they were field-testing it. Of course the bigger the wave power, the more energy they can harness from it. They\u2019ve already tested it in controlled environments and in the open waters. After more tests, they will soon commercialize the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> and then mass produce it for companies and consumers who will want to try out this sustainable technology.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-395713\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/08\/spine-like-floating-platform-harnesses-water-wave-energy\/1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/08\/19\/spine-like-floating-platform-harnesses-water-wave-energy\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Spine-like floating platform harnesses water wave energy\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/08\/spine-like-floating-platform-harnesses-water-wave-energy\/1.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-395713\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/08\/spine-like-floating-platform-harnesses-water-wave-energy\/1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/08\/19\/spine-like-floating-platform-harnesses-water-wave-energy\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Spine-like floating platform harnesses water wave energy\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/08\/spine-like-floating-platform-harnesses-water-wave-energy\/1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"1017606968\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"6fcd4146b1b07bf24212ba73-text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"6fcd4146b1b07bf24212ba73-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"swp-content-locator\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-5' style=\" margin: clear: both>\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"9466393889\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"vcard author\"><br \/>\n<span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Ida Torres<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
