A device which could revolutionise life for communities around the
globe will be among the first projects put to the test in Plymouth
University's new marine building.
Student Ross Cosgrove, 22, will make scale models of a wave energy
converter, which aims to convert salt water into drinking water, and
then examine its viability as part of his course thesis.
Ross, who is studying for a Masters degree in marine renewable energy, will use computational simulation software with technology developers in Falmouth to validate his results and establish how much drinkable water could be produced in certain locations.
He will be one of the first people to use facilities in Plymouth University’s new £19million marine building, testing the prototypes in the country’s most advanced wave tanks.
