Introduction

This platform is based on a technology that transforms the energy of the sea into electrical energy, to know if this project can be feasible, an investigation will be carried out based on placing the platform in the sea and floating it in the waters of the Pacific Ocean, the intention of the project is that this platform can take advantage of all the energy that can be found in the Pacific Ocean and convert it into electricity.

Although the energy found in the oceans causes erosion to the beaches and can also cause destruction to ships, the intention is that this energy will not be destructive but rather constructive.

What does this transformation energy consist of?

There may be various technologies that transform the energy of ocean waves, however the placement of such a platform provides the facility to build a wave energy converter, and having such a converter on the platform would have a charging station for example for electric vehicles sailing the sea.

This platform provides the facility to install a station for underwater drones to perform various research at the level of biological sciences and study the animal diversity present in the oceans, it is an advantage because you can even charge electricity all the mapping equipment of the seabed without having to stop such activity.

How much energy can we find in the waves of the sea?

Those who have seen the waves of the sea and taking into consideration the size of the oceans on our planet can assume that a large amount of energy is present in the movement of the waves.

Some researchers estimate that in that movement of the waves of the oceans of the planet may be present around more than two terawatts of energy, so that we have an idea of how much that represents, we could be talking about an energy that if harnessed and exploited would be equivalent to the energy that can produce thousands of nuclear power plants.

Conclusion

In the event that such a project can be carried out, it could enter a phase in which, if the conversion of a large part of the energy from the sea waves into usable electricity can be achieved, it could indirectly contribute to the reduction of carbon in the atmosphere.
