Fully enclosed multi-axis inertial reaction mechanisms for wave energy conversion

This paper introduces a novel concept for wave energy conversion, using fully enclosed appropriate internal body configurations, which provide inertial reaction against the motion of an external vessel. In this way, reliability, robustness and survivability under extreme weather conditions – a funda...
