| Project Code name | MADWEC |
| Project Title | Design of a Power Take Off for MADWEC |
| Abstract | MADWEC stands for Maximal Asymmetric Drag Wave Energy Converter. It is a system that aims to translate the oscillating behavior of waves and convert it to power and store such power offshore. A system such as this needs to be implemented into the power market, as it is possibly one of the only options to deliver electrical needs offshore. This power is created through the difference in position of a buoy and the PTO, which held in a constant position as the waves rise. This project is aimed at creating low cost power in hopes of being a cheap solution for many different needs. |
