Dolphin Labs

Dolphin Labs is revolutionising ocean power with its xNode wave energy converter (WEC), a persistent, renewable energy source designed to power ocean monitoring systems, underwater vehicles, maritime communications, and remote sensing networks.

The xNode taps into the endless energy of ocean waves, solving the power challenge that has long hindered the expansion of autonomous maritime systems. Unlike solar or battery-based solutions, the xNode generates uninterrupted electricity, enabling long-duration, self-sustaining ocean operations.The xNode consists of two primary components:

A rigid core housing the power generation, energy storage, and communications payloads

An inflatable collar, which allows buoyancy control for stability in varied sea states. It can also raise or lower itself to avoid storms, surface threats, or detection.
