Last week’s ‘weatherbomb’ created large waves, particularly in the north and west of Scotland, where WaveNET ‘Squid’ unit was under test at Kishorn Port in Wester Ross.
Roslin-based company, Albatern, developed a device that harnesses wave energy. It comprises a hollow central riser tube connected to 3 buoyancy floats by linking arms. The connections between each of these components is made by 6 identical fully articulated pumping modules.
According to the company, the unit responded accordingly in the stormy weather.
