The ocean waves move a float up and down at the surface. This pulls and pushes a set of fins-on-hinges below the surface to create forward motion. It's ingenious, and works because the waves don't push objects laterally, but are really just a vertical oscillation.
The company that makes it is called Liquid Robotics, which should be enough to go on if you want to search for additional details.
- unclebucknasty 11y agoThanks for the background and the pointer. That is very interesting tech, and the key piece of exploiting the difference between wave motion at the surface vs at depth is ingenious.
