They have named it the Swell Actuated Reverse Osmosis System or SAROS, and by using high pressure pumps from energy created by the vertical motion of waves, it can remove the salt from saltwater.
"It's a lot less expensive than traditional desalination, and you can get into it at a lot lower of an initial price," Sonnett told Business Insider. "Also, it's environmentally friendly, so anytime you need a lot of energy to perform this process you have to generate that somehow, and on a lot of islands and coastal regions, that's all generated by diesel."
