The Slow Mill has been under active development since 2012. At that time it already was a promising technology but lots of research has been done since. Throughout the years the promising aspects of a modern day wave energy technology capable of harnessing not only the energy rich waves of the oceans but also the relative short and irregular shoppy waves of the North Sea, has generated quite some attention in the sustainable energy field. Almost any competition the Slow Mill                                                                                      has entered since its beginning was awarded first price.
