A wave engine is a type of propulsion system that generates thrust by harnessing the energy of waves. It typically consists of a series of mechanical components that convert the up-and-down motion of ocean waves into usable energy, which can then be used to power a vessel or generate electricity. This technology aims to provide a sustainable and renewable energy source, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Wave engines can be integrated into various marine applications, including buoys, ships, and offshore platforms. By capturing the kinetic energy of waves, these engines contribute to cleaner energy solutions and help mitigate the impacts of climate change.
