Closing the power gap one wave at a time.

The Product

Cymatix Solutions builds a submersible hydroelectric pump that converts ocean waves into continuous, reliable power.

Our system uses a simple, cost-effective design built around a compliant internal air-bladder that captures the natural hydrostatic pressure changes created by passing waves and converts them into electricity. Created for the harsh, unpredictable conditions of open water, the unit is engineered to deliver 50W to 1 kW of clean power and produces over 1,000 kWh per year, unlocking an entirely new power category for ocean technologies.

Where today’s ocean instruments are forced to operate on <10W and face multi-day data gaps, Cymatix bridges the power gap that limits ocean sensing, monitoring, and autonomous vehicles.

Our Mission

Our mission is to let the world truly understand the ocean. We develop technology that unlocks access to rich, continuous, high-resolution ocean data that isn’t feasible to collect with legacy systems.

Monitoring millions of square miles of ocean is difficult, but also impactful. It helps governments, researchers, and industry protect coastal communities from ocean disasters, keep marine ecosystems safe from illegal fishing and pollution, and defend against man-made threats. We are working to close the ocean data gap in order to protect human and marine life.

Technology

Value Proposition

Cymatix Solutions provides a simple, scalable, and durable wave-energy system that uses compliant, low-cost materials to achieve long life cycles in marine environments with minimal maintenance.

Compared to rigid wave-energy devices that are expensive, fragile, or oversized, our compliant architecture improves survivability, reduces fouling stress, and dramatically lowers cost and deployment complexity.

We deliver meaningful power where solar, wind, and batteries fail.

How it Works

Our technology transforms changes in hydrostatic pressure into electrical energy:

Submerged Bladder Compression: As waves pass overhead, the rise in hydrostatic pressure compresses an internal air bladder.
Pressurized Water Pumping: This compression drives seawater through a pump chamber.
Micro-Turbine Generation: The pressurized flow spins a compact turbine, generating an electrical output.
Energy Delivery: Power is stored locally or delivered directly to ocean instruments, enabling continuous operation.

The architecture is fully modular, allowing units to scale up or down depending on the specific power requirement. The use of compliant materials reduces mechanical stress, improving robustness, lowering maintenance needs, and enabling long deployment life cycles.

Use Cases

Powering Autonomous Ocean Vehicles via Off-Grid Charging Stations

Autonomous ocean vehicles (e.g., AUVs, USVs, and aerial drones) are limited by onboard batteries and the need for frequent, costly retrieval for recharging. Cymatix provides a continuous offshore power source that enables longer missions, higher-frequency data collection, and reliable support for propulsion, sensors, and communications. This delivers true persistence for ocean exploration, defense, and commercial monitoring.

Continuous Ocean Sensing & Maritime Domain Awareness

Most ocean buoys rely on small batteries and solar panels that restrict them to low-power sensors and cause multi-day data gaps. Cymatix enables continuous, high-power sensing for radar, imaging, sonar, and real-time data transmission. With reliable wave-generated electricity, agencies can deploy more advanced and capable monitoring stations anywhere in the world.
