Wave Energy Revolution in Power Generation

Energy & Transportation
WO/2025/222256

This patent introduces an innovative wave energy generator designed to harness energy from the flow of water, specifically targeting lower-velocity water bodies and small-scale applications, such as municipal water distribution pipelines. Traditional hydroelectric systems usually require damming, which can lead to environmental disruption. The proposed system employs a hollow, elongate impeller with internal vanes that direct water flow to induce rotation. Magnetic elements on the rotating impeller generate electricity within a surrounding stator as water flows through the system.\n\nThis invention stands out for its ability to generate electricity without the need for large infrastructure changes or environmental impact, making it suitable for diverse aquatic environments. It offers a sustainable energy solution that aligns with global efforts to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.\n\nThe system's adaptability to both small and large scales—from pipelines to larger aquatic installations—broadens its application potential, contributing positively to renewable energy sources and sustainability goals. The environmental benefits combined with its innovative design make this a compelling solution for renewable energy generation.
