Actually, if the bulk of your device can be constructed from CPVC and carbon fiber, it may be superior to the AVECarbocrete core or AVECPVC core replicating unit for the third stage of power generation described below, so long as it can be deployed in waters with limited maximum stretches of low sea state:
1) Use power to produce more power generation cores from in situ maritime resources. 2) Produce an artificial floating atoll for real estate development of ocean-front condos that also provides a constant low sea state lagoon upon which float photobioreactors for aquaponics. 3) Supply ongoing power to the atoll's population of about 100,000. Since the atoll is an ideal geometry for capturing wave energy, and it needs to somehow deal with wave energy anyway to provide the low sea state lagoon, it may make sense to decouple the AVE from the atoll, once finished, by incorporating your wave system into the structure of the atoll. This might speed the completion of the atoll as it intercepts an ever increasing wave front, but more importantly (since the doldrums are low sea state) the atoll, once finished, could be transported to a higher sea state environment where the ongoing power to the atoll's population of 100,000 (stage 3 of power generation) would be entirely wave energy where the dispatchable power was provided by compressed air stored inside CPVC flotation structures that are necessary, in any case, for a floating atoll.
