Today I had a small wave generator installed on my island. It’s a prototype developed by NoviOcean - the actual product will be way bigger and will be placed in areas with much bigger waves.?
This prototype will not give me huge amounts of power, but I did not install it for the sake of productivity, but for the sake of creativity.
In 1999 I installed solar cells on my island and went “off-grid”. Today “everyone” is installing solar cells and it’s amazing to see how that industry has boomed. But that growth would never have happened if not some curious early adopters, like me, bought solar cells way back in the 90’s.?
And wave energy might well become an important part of the energy transformation to renewable and greener energy sources.
I am happy - and a little proud - to be playing a small part in pushing the innovation of wave energy. (My island will be used as a showcase to show the prototype in action for investors/press etc as my island is conveniently located just 15 minutes from the center of Stockholm.)
If you, like me, believe that we need to do (even) more to develop better energy sources, then think about how you could help support the innovators making the transformation happen.
Let’s make some waves… :)

1 年Thanks for having us installing the prototype hybrid solar / wave energy convertor on your island Fredrik. As you mentioned, there has been infancy on all major innovations. The coming 700 kW unit, later 2 MW, with unique validated weight / performance data in relation to competition, is our innovation. Looking at the numbers compared to wind and solar′s infancy, it is mind-blowing to imagine where this could be in few years. What is needed is more people and companies thinking like Fredrik, seeing what is coming and taking some initiatives, and not just waiting for others to take some risk and do the job. Those coming along early will by the way get production priority for years, plus not the least all the internal-and external marketing advantages, while the ones preferring the no-risk sidelines will have to wait for a decade or more for possible access. We will soon start a consortium, inviting larger corporations to join in on this meaningful adventure. You and your company could be on board the full-scale 38-meter unit with your business partners, media, employees, politicians and even royals in less than two years! If you believe that and the above is worth some, most welcome to contact us before that, to possibly join in.
