This project investigates wave-driven propulsion, a novel locomotion method where floating bodies use surface waves for movement. By exploring its mechanics and optimizing efficiency, the research aims to unlock applications in environmental cleanup, hydroponic agriculture, and maritime transport.
Wave-driven propulsion (WDP) is a little-known type of locomotion in which a floating body generates surface waves to push itself forwards.
Some animals have evolved to use WDP when moving on the water surface, such as water striders and water snakes.
Meanwhile, WDP technologies have the potential to revolutionise engineering applications, such as the cleanup oil spills, the automation of hydroponic agriculture, and the reduction of fuel consumption of ships.
Despite the great potential of WDP,…
