Research abstract

To address the Navy"s need for an energy transducer capable of powering an"A"size AN/SSQ-101 Air-Deployable Active Receiver (ADAR) sensor, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) has developed a new Wave Energy Transducer (WET). It harvests the kinetic energy present in the undulating ocean surface using high-efficiency turbines. The innovations in turbine blade design and configuration enable the WET to exceed the power requirements of the ADAR sensor and thereby support self-sustainable operation. As a result, this device offers more energy and has a longer life than existing devices, and is compatible with the current ADAR sensor power system, which fits inside a small cylindrical volume
