Atmocean, Inc. products

As waves pass under the array (as seen here to the right), the buoys rise. A series of free-floating platforms called Variable Sea Anchors or “VSAs” are connected beneath the pump and provide drag to the rising buoys. The pumps located between the VSA and buoy are designed to take advantage of the resulting tension to pull in sea water and pump it towards shore. The entire array acts in series with five pumps along three separate strings to increase the volume and pressure of water being delivered on shore through a central pipe. The seawater is then run through a R/O system that takes advantage of the arriving pressure to desalinate the seawater with no external energy input. As Atmocean reaches economy of scale and realizes additional efficiency, future arrays could be used for power production with pressurized water inputting into a simple Pelton water wheel to generate renewable electricity.
