Iswec (Inertial sea wave energy converter) is fine tuned
at the Politecnico di Torino. It is a floating buoy in which
there’s a special gyroscope which converts oscillating
movement into mechanical energy which then becomes
electricity. In the picture a prototype being tested in Cnr’s
Insean basins has been working in Pantelleria island since
2012.
Below. Our yacht today can produce energy also when
moored: Seadamp are new mooring springs capable of
producing energy thanks to the movement generated by
wavelets.
