"NEMOS employs floating structures that move in a controlled trajectory to capture up to 80 percent of available wave energy, compared to 50 percent achieved by conventional rise and fall systems. Their associated generators and mooring winches can be located on any suitable offshore structure, such as a wind turbine, where they will be protected from seawater and offer easy access for maintenance."

The company is claiming that the NEMOS device can harvest considerably more wave energy than it's peers.
As the device captures energy generated by rise and fall, they must see further improvements being possible using the Ceto 6M platform.
Ceto 6M has the added advantage of being capable to capture energy from heave and surge as well as rise and fall.
It would be interesting to know by how much the harvesting capacity can be increased using a Ceto 6M?
It would also be good to know what changes occur when the configuration of the buoy is altered?
Will two, three, four or more, mooring winches be the optimal configuration that gives the best result?
Will a 25 metre Ceto 6 buoy be the best size for commercial deployment, or will it be possible to use bigger or smaller buoys?
Will the material used in the construction of the buoy make any difference?
At the roadshow MO made mention of concrete being a real possibility.
Is that because it won't rust or is it related to performance as well?
