Researchers at the University of Southampton in England are testing a giant snake-like rubber tube designed to harness the power of waves. Dubbed the “Anaconda” after the South American snake, these simple, inexpensive tubes would produce clean, affordable energy from the world's oceans. If deployed according to current plans, each Anaconda tube could produce enough electricity to power 2000 homes.
The Anaconda is a joint project funded primarily by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPRSC). The original design and concept of the Anaconda was formulated by physicist Francis Farley and Rod Rainey of Atkins Oil & Gas but the testing is being performed by fluid mechanics and ocean engineering groups at the University of Southampton. Manufacturing rights belong to CheckMate SeaEnergy, a subsidiary of the CheckMate Group, formed specifically for that purpose.
