Deep or Coastal Water Deployment Buoy Design
When attached to a bespoke buoyancy float scaled at 9 meters in diameter, it has been calculated that an Aegir Dynamo™ will produce 1MwH of electricity less cost than a wind turbine of a similar rating.
Furthermore it can be deployed as an array of several devices in the buoy format, and will have an estimated life expectancy of 20+ years with routine inspection windows required every 6 months and planned maintenance every 2 years.
The buoy design operates as the buoyancy chamber tries to surface creating an upward force against the anchor, which in turn gives a stable consistent platform for the float to move up and down on.
The float moves as a direct result of waves and swells acting upon it, and the energy created by this movement is transferred to the Aegir Dynamo™, which is housed in a sealed chamber within the Central Column.
The Aegir Dynamo™ converts this linear energy in to electrical energy.
Calculations show that the technology could be 300% more efficient than a fossil fueled generator designed for a similar application. In addition, there are no carbon emissions, and the impact on the environment will be negligible.
