About Wavepiston 

Wavepiston is working to make wave energy a reliable part of the renewable energy sector, focusing on power generation and desalination.

By developing its technology, the company aims to improve energy access, provide clean water, and reduce reliance on fossil fuels, helping wave energy play a bigger role in global energy needs.

Wavepiston has created a wave energy system that produces electricity and desalinated water. It uses multiple collectors, each connected to a string, with sails that move with the waves.

These movements power hydraulic pumps, which pressurize seawater and send it to a conversion station. There, the pressurized water either drives a turbine to generate electricity or undergoes desalination using reverse osmosis.

The system is scalable, meaning multiple strings can be added based on location and energy demand. It provides a renewable energy source, creates jobs, and boosts local economies.
