Design Proposal and Feasibility Analysis for a Near-Surface Wave-Powered Profiling Float
We propose a design for a float capable of harvesting wave energy while fully submerged. The proposed design could theoretically operate indefinitely without ever breaching the surface. We developed and validated design guidelines for the proposed float through a combination of tank testing and simu...
