Overview
The WaveNET system is an array of hexagonally interconnected Squid modules, each module consisting of three articulated link arms connected in a star formation at a central node with a surface piercing central riser. Waves induce motion at the articulated joints and this relative motion is converted to electrical power via a hydraulic take off system.
