A spinning gyroscope could finally unlock ocean wave energy

SMRTR summary

Researchers at The University of Osaka developed a gyroscopic wave energy converter that uses a spinning flywheel inside a floating platform to generate electricity from ocean waves through gyroscopic precession. Unlike traditional wave energy devices that work only under specific conditions, this system can achieve maximum theoretical efficiency across all wave frequencies, potentially unlocking the ocean's vast untapped renewable energy potential.
