The theoretical, global energy potential of wave is higher than the global electricity consumption, however ther are not yet any commercial devices to exploit this resource. Cost reduction and reliability are key challenges for the wave energy sector, with the Power-Take Off (PTO) a major cost element of a typical Wave Energy Converter (WEC). The IMAGINE project will therefore develop and demonstrate an innovative PTO concept for wave energy applications. The groundbreaking Electro-Mechanical Generator (EMG
