How Kinocil works to convert ocean waves into clean and accessible energy
Kinocil, designed by researchers from the Anna University, It is a floating device that uses principles of law of Pascal to generate electricity. This system takes advantage of the pressure exerted by sea waves, transforming the kinetic energy in electricity through an innovative and efficient structure.
The fundamental pillar of this invention is the vertical tanks filled with liquid, connected to each other by horizontal tubes. As waves move the structure, the liquid within the tanks fluctuates, generating a constant linear motion that is captured by high-efficiency turbines. These turbines, known as Wells turbines, convert movement in electrical energy in a sustained manner and without interruptions.
The initial development of this invention began with recycled materialssuch as plastic bottles and tubes. The researchers improved the design by using more advanced components, achieving a efficiency greater than 65% in initial tests. This performance exceeds that of many other existing wave technologies, consolidating Kinocil as an innovative and effective proposal.
The long-term goal is to scale the system to supply multiple homes. The current prototype, capable of generating 100 wattswill undergo additional testing to ensure its reliability in real ocean environments. The researchers plan to achieve a capacity of 10kWenough for supply energy to five homeswithin a period of two years.
Why Kinocil is easy to install
One of the great advantages of this device is its Simple design and quick installation. Unlike other wave power plants that require complex underwater moorings, this floating system can be implemented near the coast with less effort and cost.
Furthermore, its modular structure allows you to integrate other technologies complementary in the same device, increasing its versatility and efficiency. This makes it a good solution for remote communities or areas with limited resourcess, opening the door to a more sustainable and accessible energy future.
