About INGINE
INGINE is a South Korean venture company and a first mover power generation.
INGINE transformed the paradigm of existing technology to develop wave power generation and to enable rapid entry into the market.
Wave power is the transport of energy by ocean surface waves, and the capture of that energy to do useful work ? for example, electricity generation, water desalination, or the pumping of water (into reservoirs). A machine able to exploit wave power is generally known as a wave energy converter (WEC).

Technology Overview: Osmotic energy is a completely renewable source that utilizes the mixing entropy of two solutions with different salinity. In the 1970s pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) as a membrane-based separation process was proposed to extract the osmotic energy from the sea. In this process water is drawn naturally from a low salinity feed solution across a semi-permeable membrane to a pressurized high salinity draw solution; power is then obtained by depressurizing part of the diluted draw solution through a hydroturbine.
Background: This technology provides a low cost low maintenance solution for generating electricity from ocean waves. Its unique magnetic coupling system isolates all mechanical components from the harsh marine environment making it ideal for powering sensor arrays communication nodes or other applications within the coastal zone. The technology will help to break down multiple barriers (power and communication) and accelerate development of coastal sensor networks across multiple sectors (environment security commerce etc.) growing the market in the process.
Wilefko wave is a novel system consisting of trains of oscillating blades with an intermediate stage of accumulation of compressed air with a threefold purpose: 1) generate electricity 2) seawater desalination and 3) pump water. It uses an energy source that is the ocean which is more constant abundant predictable and with a capacity of 800 times more energy than wind energy FEATURE 1. Multi-linear palette method increasing from 2 to 3 times the energy harvested 2.
Marine renewables, also known as ocean energy, refers to a broad range of technologies that extract energy from the ocean; this energy can be in the form of ocean waves, tidal movements or thermal gradients. Marine renewables are, in general, at a relatively early stage in their development and, as such, the methods of converting these potential energy sources into useful electrical power are still highly diversified, with many technologies competing for commercial viability.
