How does the Wavebrake work?
The Wavebrake works by disrupting the laminar flow of the wave and the resulting turbulence extracts the energy from the wave by a canceling effect. The energy is absorbed by this action and the wave is attenuated. Energy is not directed in other directions to cause damage in another area. The multi faceted shape of the individual cubes, when connected, provides a porous face that accepts the wave, and channels the water into the porous cavities between the modules. This space contains the turbulence and extracts the wave forces by a canceling effect.
