Alex Hagmuller, a mechanical engineer from the Portland, Oregon-based team AquaHarmonics, tells the crowd how their wave energy converter (WEC) is working to absorb energy from waves, which can then be converted and used as a power source. AquaHarmonics competed against eight other teams to win the 2016 Wave Energy Prize of $1.5 million, which was awarded Nov. 16 at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division in West Bethesda, Md. The final testing stage took place at the Maneuvering and Seakeeping (MASK) Basin, Carderock's state-of-the-art indoor ocean. The Wave Energy Prize is a public prize competition sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE), and supported by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and Carderock.
