WaveRiders

There is free and natural energy all around the world. Yet, the one that is being used instead impacts climate. That is a problem!

Burning carbon as in body exercise is good for your health. But, If you burn it as fuel to heat your home or to run your engine, it is a problem. Fossil fuels have a huge impact on climate. Transportation for energy needs is another problem. 

We introduce two WaveRiders for harnessing the sheer energy in sea waves.  One is WaveSolenoid solely for electricity generation while the other rotates sprockets to generate and store energy, clarify water, or transport material. These machines are based on the buoyancy of hollow vessels to run machines powered by waves.

The solution serves to whom we can install these waveRiders on suitable coasts. Our machines provide an option to supply green energy preferably on the spot, or on-site with virtually no carbon footprint or pollution. These machines can convert the massive energy for seashore dwellers to heat, cool, and electrify their settlements.

Sarper Yaşar is the team lead who designs and models machines. The animated one on the YouTube link is one of them. The team is open to enthusiastic and resourceful people. If you do CFD analysis, suggest coupler specs, which materials would fit these systems better, or anything relevant then you are welcome aboard! 

A 3D modeled and animated prototype is in the above YouTube video. It is almost as good as an actual one. However, it may have to be defined as a concept according to your rules. A simple setup is going to be built until the deadline. 

MIT is among the best bets for such an endeavor as a technically renowned university with a diverse entrepreneurial backyard.  

WaveRiders are innovative in their use of space (i.e., under piers or walkways on coasts) without abstucting a view or occupying useful area. Fluid has more punch as it gets denser hence the Waveriders have an advantage regarding slippage on windmills and water turbines.  A 1m3 floater has a metric ton of force delivering a 10K Joule of energy for every meter of travel.

WaveRiders can trickle charge chemical batteries by connection directly via an alternator OR they can sink their counterparts or the like to store energy. Then they can supply steady and consistent energy.

Wave riders can easily scale in numbers or dimensions for more. They are simple, thus serviceable even by ordinary customers. They can be built to work as a pump, motor, or engine to provide energy to seaside settlements. They are powered by marine waves and can work at night. Thus   when there they complement solar panels and wind turbines.

Thanks to their simple design, they have a few parts and thus can be serviceable with minimum training. People will have an alternative to access energy created on the spot making their minds more at ease.

Using the energy generated from naturally occurring events will have a positive climate impact at the rate they replace fuels that do not have. 

Coastal areas are blessed with the potential to harness the energy of marine waves. Just imagine people living in these areas being able to heat and cool their homes, and generate electricity on-site, all with the help of wave riders. Not only will this reduce their dependence on fossil fuels, but it will also help achieve the decarbonization goal. Moreover, this energy source is available even at night when solar panels don't work and without wind when windmills can't generate power.

By utilizing the buoyancy of a container during wave motion, we can generate electricity or use it for an HVAC for heating and cooling purposes.

Currently, I am working alone. I am interested in finding individuals from MIT to work with as partners or as a team.

Since 2013.

Selling and servicing the product

This project will receive funding after the demonstration at Solve. With a larger model that proves energy conversion scales the same, it will be produced and then mass-produced. Then tailored models will be added to range of products.
