N2 - A 1/64th scale prototype of multi-axis wave energy converter (WEC) has been tested in the wave tank and the overall concept has been verified. It is shown that when multiple directions of motion are involved, the multi-axis WEC proves to be able to supply more power generation than a single axis one. Results demonstrated that the optimal resonant frequency for maximum power output under different damping values does not vary with wave climate.
