How this 'artificial blowhole' aims to make wave energy mainstream

But have no fear, it’s merely the latest in wave energy technology.

As incoming waves flow into the chamber, air is compressed, which spins a turbine.

Denniss said the UniWave200 also has advantages over previous wave technologies in terms of accessibility and durability.

The UniWave200’s potential usefulness extends beyond the realm of green energy.

But Denniss believes the most urgent use for this technology is as a form of protection from coastal erosion.

But first, the UniWave200 at King Island will have to lead the way.
