HYDRAULIC TECHNOLOGY AND UTILIZATION OF OCEAN WAVE POWER

Utilization of ocean wave power is one of our dreams.A system introduced here “Pendulor” has pendulums which resonate in the exciting wave motion and the pendulums drive a generator via hydrostatic drive system. We believe, this “Pendulor” would bring the dream in our life. The combination of the pendulum (mechanical power transfer) and the HST (hydraulic power transfer) gave 40% overall efficiency in ocean testing, having a basic matching of their huge thrust force -low speed features. The Pendulor absorbs wave force and makes little reflecting waves so effectively that the caisson attached it can become an improved breakwater.25 yen/kWH or 9.4 yen/kWH are expected using a proto-type Pendulor designed here, including with or without caisson cost.
