Earlier this year, they released the design of their prototype WEC after much research and design progress.
This high output paired with its lower cost make it competitive among fossil fuels which dominate the energy markets.
Last year, the company tested the machine in Larnaca Bay off of Cyprus.
More testing and development is needed to commercialize the WEC.
However, the company designed it to be flexible enough to withstand a variety of open water conditions.
It can also be crafted from recycled materials, further boosting its eco-friendly image.
