The UniWave

(1/1)

Cyberduke:
So I randomly ran into this video online(as one does), and obviously I immediately started thinking about the real practicality of such a product(How much power it could theoretically produce etc...).  I would definitely be interested in hearing some thoughts of other people regarding this.  I do not think at this point I can really provide an educated enough opinion, but I thought it would be interesting to bring up. 



Some more information is available on their website.

Hi!!...  No-one else has answered, so I'll mention something of a similar engineering, but in REVERSE !!  haha...
Instead of using the vertical oscillation of water to 'produce' energy, I'm reminded of a 'pump' that works in reverse!!  :scared:
It was called a "Humphrey Pump" from back in the 1950's or something. (Very large). It was 'something' like a 2(4??) stroke engine,
where the oscillating 'water' was the actual 'Piston', and the explosion of gasses above, drove the 'water' (piston) down, to cycle the
water flow!  In a little remote town in South-Australia, called "Cobdogla", there is a working museum with the last known working unit
in the Southern Hemisphere!. I've watched it working, many decades ago, and the 'gas' it burnt/exploded was produced by burning coal.  ;D
Just thought I would mention it... 99.99% of people would never have seen/heard of it!!
