About Rotary Wave

About us

Rotary Wave S.L. is a Spanish technology company, founded in 2014 and based in Torrent (Valencia), dedicated to the development of advanced solutions in the field of marine renewable energy and sustainable desalination.

Our mission is clear:

  • To harness the natural power of the oceans

  • Waves, currents, and wind

  • To generate clean electricity and produce drinking water through highly efficient technologies that are fully respectful of the environment.

Our work focuses on the comprehensive research and development of proprietary technologies. We have designed and patented a range of innovative devices capable of transforming marine energy into useful resources without altering ecosystems. Among our main solutions are Butterfly-type wave energy converters (WECs), available in both floating and breakwater-mounted versions, marine and tidal current turbines such as the Current and Savonius types, hydraulic pumping systems (Smart Pump) designed for desalination without the need for electricity, and hydraulic wind turbines specially adapted for remote environments.

Our technology is defined by a sustainable and practical approach. All our systems are designed to generate power onshore, which enhances safety, simplifies maintenance, and optimizes performance.

In addition, we use recyclable materials, eliminate the use of oils and greases entirely, and ensure zero environmental impact on marine flora and fauna.

At Rotary Wave, we are committed to innovation that respects the planet and to engineering that addresses the real needs of coastal communities and regions with limited access to energy and drinking water.

 

 

Environmental Advantages of Our Devices

  • At Rotary Wave S.L., our technology is designed with a strong commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. By harnessing marine and river-based renewable energy, we contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, actively and tangibly supporting the fight against climate change.

    One of the pillars of our design is low visual impact: by installing our devices far from the coast, we preserve the natural aesthetics of coastal landscapes and minimize any interference with human activities such as tourism or fishing.

    Our systems extract energy from water movement in a way that is respectful of the environment, without affecting marine fauna or flora. Additionally, electricity generation takes place onshore, which completely eliminates the risk of electromagnetic interference in the marine environment.

    From a technical perspective, we avoid the use of oils and lubricants in water, thereby eliminating any risk of pollution. Our devices are built using special composite materials that are recyclable, durable, and low-maintenance. We use self-lubricating bearings, allowing us to operate without additional substances that could harm the environment.

    The rotational movement of our turbines is kept at low speed, minimizing the risk of harming marine life. Furthermore, the turbine blades are designed with rounded edges, and the entire system operates silently, avoiding noise that could disturb marine species.

    With this approach, Rotary Wave combines energy efficiency with deep respect for the environment, proving that it is possible to innovate without compromising the natural balance of our aquatic ecosystems.

Our Infrastructure

Own wave channel

 

At Rotary Wave S.L., we have a highly specialized technical infrastructure that allows us to carry out the entire process of research, development, validation, and improvement of our proprietary technologies in the field of marine renewable energy.

We operate a prototyping and testing workshop located at our headquarters in Torrent (Valencia), where various full-scale devices and functional prototypes are developed, manufactured, and assembled.

For experimental validation, we have a wave and current channel specifically designed to perform controlled-scale simulations of our wave and tidal energy converters. This environment enables us to evaluate hydrodynamic behavior and optimize device efficiency under simulated conditions.

We complement these tests with an electric-hydraulic test bench of up to 150 kW, where we analyze the mechanical and energy performance of components, accurately replicating real operating conditions. This bench is key for verifying the Smart Pump and other generation and conversion systems.

Finally, our technical office is equipped with computer-aided design (CAD) tools, simulation software, and structural analysis programs. From here, we carry out all technical studies, digital modeling, and performance analyses that support each development phase of our devices.

Thanks to this comprehensive infrastructure, Rotary Wave is able to deliver robust, efficient, and validated technological solutions, ready to be implemented in real-world environments.

Our team

The company is made up of a multidisciplinary team of engineers and technicians who cover all aspects related to the company’s technological developments. Currently, the team consists of 11 members, including environmental engineers, telecommunications engineers, industrial engineers, marine science graduates, a naval engineer, an electrical engineer, and an electronics engineer.

In addition, we have specialized technicians focused on the mechanical development of marine energy converter prototypes. All team members are fully dedicated to the R&D of devices that convert marine and wind energy into electrical and hydraulic energy for the desalination of seawater and brackish water.
